Eliza Lee
Traditional Arrangement The Black Family
Oh! The smartest packet that you could find
A hee, a ho, are you most done
Is the old 'Wild Cat' of the Swallow Tail line
Clear away the track and let the Bulgine run
Chorus
To me, hey rig-a-jig in low back car
A hee, a ho, are you most done
Eliza Lee all on my knee
Clear away the track and let the Bulgine run
Now Eliza Lee if you were mine
A hee, a ho, are you most done
I would dress you up in silk so fine
Clear away the track and let the Bulgine run
Chorus
Well the prettiest sight that you could see
A hee, a ho, are you most done
Is that Eliza Lee all on my knee
Clear away the track and let the Bulgine run
Chorus
Well in Liverpool town them girls hang 'round
A hee, a ho, are you most done
And it's there my Eliza will be found
Clear away the track and let the Bulgine run
Chorus
When I come home from across the sea
A hee, a ho, are you most done
Eliza will you marry me
Clear away the track and let the Bulgine run
Chorus
I'll stay with you upon the shore
A hee, a ho, are you most done
And it's back to sea no more will go
Clear away the track and let the Bulgine run
