Liza 1909

When the harvest moon was peepin'
and a creepin' o'er the hill;
Far away in Dixie Land.
When the crickets chirped a sharp reply
to mister whipo'will;
Far away in Dixie Land.
A little colored fellow
with a little kinky hair,
Stood beside a little cabin,
in the cool September air,
Then he shouted to a certain
colored lady livin' there,
far away in Dixie Land.

Liza, Liza,
Come out and I'll surprise ye!
Corn am swayin'
banjos playin'
Your feet am bound to yield;
Liza, Liza,
dat moon will hypnotise ye!
Come on, Liz, we'll win the prize,
a dancin' in the old corn field.

Liza, Liza,
Come out and I'll surprise ye!
Corn am swayin'
banjos playin'
Your feet am bound to yield;
Liza, Liza,
dat moon will hypnotise ye!
Come on, Liz, we'll win the prize,
a dancin' in the old corn field.

Now did 'Liza go with Henry?
You can bet your life she did!
Far away in Dixie Land.
And behind a shock of corn with her
he very quickly hid;
Far away in Dixie Land.
Said Henry: "There is nothing
like a shock of corn for me,
Why it's better than the shade
of any poor old apple tree,
So you'd better kiss me, honey,
'cause I'm peevish as can be,"
Far away in Dixie Land.

Liza, Liza,
Come out and I'll surprise ye!
Corn am swayin'
banjos playin'
Your feet am bound to yield;
Liza, Liza,
dat moon will hypnotise ye!
Come on, Liz, we'll win the prize,
a dancin' in the old corn field.

Liza, Liza,
Come out and I'll surprise ye!
Corn am swayin'
banjos playin'
Your feet am bound to yield;
Liza, Liza,
dat moon will hypnotise ye!
Come on, Liz, we'll win the prize,
a dancin' in the old corn field.
