Nina Simone - Nina's Choice

Li'l Liza Jane - Live at the Newport Jazz Festival, Newport, RI, June 30, 1960

Where's my tambourine? Wait a minute
I'll get your tambourine
Got my tambourine, get your thing, baby
What's wrong with you? What is it?
Can't forget my tambourine, boy, wait a minute
This is a folk tune and it's called "Little Liza Jane"
We get some rhythm started here and see what happens

I got a beau, you ain't got none, little Liza Jane
I got a beau, you ain't got none, little Liza Jane
I got a beau, you ain't got none, little Liza Jane
I got a beau, you ain't got none, little Liza Jane

Oh little Liza, little Liza Jane
Oh little Liza, little Liza Jane
Oh little Liza, little Liza Jane
Oh little Liza, little Liza Jane

(Liza Jane, Liza Jane)

Come my love and live with me (Liza Jane)
I will take good care of thee, little Liza Jane

(Liza Jane, Liza Jane)

Come my love and live with me (Liza Jane)
I will take good care of thee Little Liza Jane

Oh little Liza, little Liza Jane
Oh little Liza, little Liza Jane
Oh little Liza, little Liza Jane
Oh little Liza, little Liza Jane

(Liza Jane, Liza Jane, Liza Jane, Liza Jane)

Hambone Hammer, where you've been? (Liza Jane)
Down by the creekin' making gin (Liza Jane)
I know a man that's famed to be tall (Liza Jane)
Drinks his liquor and has a ball (Liza Jane)
Saw him just the other day (Liza Jane)
He had a horse and a bail of hay (Liza Jane)

Little Liza Jane, Jane, little Liza
Little Liza Jane, Jane, little Liza
Little Liza Jane, Jane, little Liza
Little Liza Jane, little Liza Jane

Little Liza Jane, Jane, little Liza
Little Liza Jane, Jane, little Liza
Little Liza Jane, Jane, little Liza
Little Liza Jane, little Liza Jane

Oh little Liza, little Liza Jane
Oh little Liza, little Liza Jane
Oh little Liza, little Liza Jane
Oh little Liza, little Liza Jane

(Liza Jane, Liza Jane, Liza Jane, Liza Jane)

He took me to this great big town (Liza Jane)
Lot of people standing around (Liza Jane)
They were listening to a great big band (Liza Jane)
The bestest music in the land (Liza Jane)
I tell you once and tell you twice (Liza Jane)
Enjoy yourself and live your life (Liza Jane)

Little Liza Jane, Jane, little Liza
Little Liza Jane, Jane, little Liza
Little Liza Jane, Jane, little Liza
Little Liza Jane, Little Liza Jane

Little Liza Jane, Jane, little Liza
Little Liza Jane, Jane, little Liza
Little Liza Jane, Jane, little Liza
Little Liza Jane, little Liza Jane

Oh little Liza, little Liza Jane
Oh little Liza, little Liza Jane
Oh little Liza, little Liza Jane

Oh little Liza
Little, my Liza Jane (Jane)
