Oh, the Liza Jane with a blue foremast

      C      G         D
And a load a hay, come drifting past

        C                       G
Oh, the Liza Jane left port one day

       C         G            D
With a fine fair tide and the day Friday

        C          G             Am   G
But the damned old tide sent her bow askew

        C           Am     D7
And the Liza Jane begun to slew

C                            D
Hi diddle di, she'da' fairly flew

       G                   D7        G    D7 G
If she only could sail the other-end-to

Oh, the Liza Jane left port one day

       C            G              D
With a hold full of squash and her deck all hay

    C        G         Am        G
Put out from Bath with all sails set

C                     Am       D7
Two years gone, she's drifting yet

C                            D
Hi diddle di, for a good old craft

        G                         D7     G     D7 G
She'da' sailed very well with her bow on aft

        C                       G
Oh, the Liza Jane got a new fore truck

C             G            D
Good stick of wood, but it wouldn't stay stuck

      C          G            Am        G
Got a breeze one day from the nor'-nor'-west

    C                  Am            D7
The doggone thing come down with the rest

C                                  D
Hi diddle di and a breeze from the West

        G                       D7             G      D7 G
You'd'a thunk the truck would'a stuck with the rest
