I know a gal that you don't know,
Li'l Liza Jane,
'Way down south in Baltimo',
Li'l Li-za Jane,
O Eliza, li'l Liza Jane,
O Eliza, li'l Liza Jane!

Liza Jane looks good to me
Li'l Liza Jane,
Sweetest one I ever see,
Li'l Li-za Jane,
O Eliza, li'l Liza Jane,
O Eliza, li'l Liza Jane!

Where she libs de posies grow,
Chickens roun' de kitchen do'

What do I care how far we roam?
Where she's at is home, sweet home.
