about

New lyrics to the old classic with a Cajun slide. Vocals by Emily Neustrom (Swamp Blossoms); fiddle and vocals by Marie-Isabelle Pautz, who reminded me during the sessions that “we’re singing a song that’s not our own/we live on land not our own.” That changed all of the lyrics in an instant.

lyrics

We’re singing this song that’s not our own (Little Liza Jane)
on a land that’s not our own (Little Liza Jane)
This freedom road come ‘round again (Little Liza Jane)
this long arc will rise again (Little Liza Jane)

Oh, Little Liza, Little Liza Jane
Oh, Little Liza, Little Liza Jane

I walk along the riverside (Little Liza Jane)
my ancestors fought and died (Little Liza Jane)
accused of crimes they had to hide (Little Liza Jane)
the holy waters where they cried (Little Liza Jane)

The sun and moon come and go (Little Liza Jane)
My Grandpa Bill put on a show (Little Liza Jane)
The stars cut through our nighttime sky (Little Liza Jane)
My momma Sally in the bye and bye (Little Liza Jane)
