This is probably a minstrel song but is not easily traceable.
The "Liza Jane" family of tunes includes a number of related variants going by a variety of related titles, such as "Old Time Liza Jane", "Poor Liza Jane", "'Lasses Cane", "Goodbye Liza Jane" "Little Liza Jane" and so on. This is another dance tune with words just for fun. It was printed in Brody's Fiddler's Fakebook (1983), Bayard's Dance to the Fiddle March to the Fife (1982), Phillips' Traditional American Fiddle Tunes, vol. 1 (1994), Thede's The Fiddle Book (1967), Thomas & Leeder's The Singin' Gathering (1939), Songer's The Portland Collection, Volume 1 (1997), Lamancusa's The Gettysburg Collection of Old-Time Fiddle Tunes (2021) and Levenson's Old-Time Festival Tunes for Clawhammer Banjo (2006). It was recorded by Carter Brothers and Son on Echoes of the Ozarks, vol. 3 (1970), New Lost City Ramblers on Gone to the Country (1963) and Alan Jabbour on Sandy's Fancy (1981) and many others. I probably picked it up from several jams and various players. |
