Pete Seeger - Liza Jane lyrics

I got a girl in Arkansas, little Liza Jane She sleeps in her kitchen With her feet in the hall, little Liza Jane Oh, won't you? Oh Eliza, little Liza Jane Oh, won't you? Oh Eliza, little Liza Jane I'm gonna marry her if I can She loves me 'cause I'm a union man Heard a speech by the President Wants to put me in a regiment I went to the draft and stood in line Now I'm a number 609 Said in Congress yesterday "Take the right to strike away" They say that labor camps are fine To make the young folk toe the line I can't marry you today I can't afford it on my pay Cut the pay and raise the rents It's all for national defense Better make the government change its plan I aim to be a married man Dry your tears, get out your knittin' I don't aim to be no bundle for Britain
