Little liza Jane lyrics

I've got a friend in Baltimore, little Liza Jane

Streetcars running by her door, little Liza Jane

Oh little Liza, little Liza Jane

Oh little Liza, little Liza Jane

I've got a friend in San Antone, little Liza Jane

Tumbleweeds and cactus grow, little Liza Jane

I've got a friend in Providence, little Liza Jane

Bluebird sitting on the fence, little Liza Jane

I've got a friend in Chicago, little Liza Jane

Walk and feel the cold winds blow, little Liza Jane

I've got a friend in Sioux falls, little Liza Jane

Where sunflowers grow so tall, little Liza Jane

I've got a friend in Cape Cod, little Liza Jane

Bullfrogs singing in the pond, little Liza Jane

I've got a friend in Tokyo, little Liza Jane

Springtime ume blossoms grow, little Liza Jane
