Verse:
        C                         G
Oh, the Liza Jane with a blue foremast
      C      G         D
And a load a hay, come drifting past
    C             G          Am         G
The skipper stood aft and he says, "How do?
          C              Am     D7
We're the Liza Jane, now who be you?"
C                                   D
Stood on the deck and he says, "How do?
           G                   D7       G      D7 G
We're from Bangor, Maine. From where be you?"

Verse:
        C                       G
Oh, the Liza Jane left port one day
       C         G            D
With a fine fair tide and the day Friday
        C          G             Am   G
But the damned old tide sent her bow askew
        C           Am     D7
And the Liza Jane begun to slew
C                            D
Hi diddle di, she'da' fairly flew
       G                   D7        G    D7 G
If she only could sail the other-end-to

Verse:
        C                       G
Oh, the Liza Jane left port one day
       C            G              D
With a hold full of squash and her deck all hay
    C        G         Am        G
Put out from Bath with all sails set
C                     Am       D7
Two years gone, she's drifting yet
C                            D
Hi diddle di, for a good old craft
        G                         D7     G     D7 G
She'da' sailed very well with her bow on aft

Verse:
        C                       G
Oh, the Liza Jane got a new fore truck
C             G            D
Good stick of wood, but it wouldn't stay stuck
      C          G            Am        G
Got a breeze one day from the nor'-nor'-west
    C                  Am            D7
The doggone thing come down with the rest
C                                  D
Hi diddle di and a breeze from the West
        G                       D7             G      D7 G
You'd'a thunk the truck would'a stuck with the rest

Verse:

And a load a hay, come drifting past

We're the Liza Jane, now who be you?"
