- Comments
- Traditional song whose lyrics come from a hodgepodge of other songs. The tune is very similar to Li'l Liza Jane. "Goin' up on the mountain to plant a patch of cane, Make a jug of 'lasses to sweeten Liza Jane. O po' Liza, po' gal, O po' Liza Jane, O po' Liza, po' gal, She died on the train." About moonshine, courting Liza Jane, (and dodging work if possible)
