Learning wasn’t easy, and money he can’t claim
He walked up hill both ways in the snow and in the rain
I know he holds the right key but it gives the world to gain
The Love of that sweet girl and he calls her Liza Jane
Chorus
Lovin’ Liza Jane, oh, lovin’ Liza Jane
Nothing came as easy as lovin’ Liza Jane
Lovin’ Liza Jane, oh, lovin’ Liza Jane
Nothing came as easy as lovin’ Liza Jane
Banjo
A soldiers life called him and took him far away
He swore that he’d return, he was going off via train
He gave her a little kiss and a locket on a chain
He promised that he’d always love his Liza Jane
Repeat Chorus
Fiddle
Through the dark of night and the long and lonely days
Liza often worried and bowed her head to pray
That he’d return alive, the reason would be plain
Swore true love would bring him home to his Liza Jane
Repeat Chorus
Mandolin
Fade….
