Liza Up in the 'Simmon Tree

歌詞

Liza up in a 'simmon tree And a possum on the ground Possum said you son of a gun Shake them 'simmons down Whoopty Liza pretty little gal Whoopty Liza Jane Whoopty Liza pretty little gal She died on the train Cheeks is like the cherries Cherries like a rose How I like that pretty little girl A'goodness gracious knows Well the old folks down in the mountain A-grinding sugarcane Making barrels of molasses For to sweeten old Liza Jane Whiskey by the gallon And sugar by the pound A great big bowl to put it in Miss Liza to stir it round Whoopty Liza pretty little gal Whoopty Liza Jane Whoopty Liza pretty little gal She died on the train Cheeks is like the cherries Cherries like a rose How I like that pretty little girl A'goodness gracious knows I went to see my Liza Jane She was standin' in the door Shoes and stockin's in her hand Her feet all over the floor Her head is like a coffee spout Her nose is like a snout Her mouth is like a old fireplace With the ashes all raked up Whoopty Liza pretty little gal Whoopty Liza Jane Whoopty Liza pretty little gal She died on the train Cheeks is like the cherries Cherries like a rose How I like that pretty little girl A'goodness gracious knows Well I wouldn't marry a poor girl I'll tell you the reason why Have so many poor kinfolk She make my biscuits fly Whoopty Liza pretty little gal Whoopty Liza Jane Whoopty Liza pretty little gal She dies on the train Cheeks is like the cherries Cherries like a rose How I like that pretty little girl A'goodness gracious knows
