lyrics

liza up in a simmon tree possum on the ground
possom said 'you son of a gun im shakin them simmons down'
old folks on the mountain grindin sugarcane
makin barrels of molasses to sweeten miss liza jane

whoopdee liza pretty little gal
whoopdee liza jane
whoopdee liza pretty little gal
ridin on the train

went to see my liza jane she was standin in the door
shoes and stockings in her hand and her little bare feet on the floor
wouldnt marry a poor gal ill tell ya the reason why
got so many poor kinfolk theyre makin my biscuits fly

whiskey by the gallon and sugar by the pound
big ol bowl to put it in miss liza to stir it round
cheeks just like a cherry cherries like a rose
how i love that pretty lil gal goodness gracious knows

her head is like a coffee pot and her nose is like a spout
mouth is like an old fireplace with the ashes all raked out
cheeks just like a cherry cherries like a rose
how i love that pretty lil gal goodness gracious knows
