"Little Dutch Girl", sometimes called "Liza Jane" is an American reel in A Major<br> (Beisswenger & McCann, Davis) or G Major (Phillips). The parts are played AB (Silberberg)<br> or AABB (Beissenger & McCann, Davis, Phillips).<br> It is a popular old-time session tune. According to Drew Beisswenger (2008), both sources<br> Earl Collins and Missouri fiddler Bob Holt heard the tune played in Douglas County, Mo.,<br> when they were young. This is the second "Little Dutch Girl" tune associated with the<br> Collins family; however, Marion Thede did include this melody in The Fiddle Book (1967,<br> collected from Oklahoma fiddler Joe Wilsie) albeit under the title "Liza Jane", perhaps<br> because this floating verse was associated with it:<br> I'll go down the new cut road,<br> And Liza down the lane;<br> I'll throw my hat in the corner fence,<br> And scare poor Liza Jane.<br> It was printed in Davis' Devil's Box, vol. 21, No. 1 (Spring 1987),<br> Phillips' Traditional American Fiddle Tunes, vol. 1 (1994),<br> Silberberg's Tunes I Learned at Tractor Tavern (2002),<br> Thede's The Fiddle Book (1967) or<br> Beisswenger & McCann's Ozarks Fiddle Music (2008).<br> It was recorded by The Boiled Buzzards on The Marimac Anthology: Deep in Old-Time Music and<br> Earl Collins on That's Earl (1975). <br>
