[Chorus] I got a pig at home in a pen, Corn to feed him on . . . All I need's a pretty little girl, To feed 'im when I'm gone. Goin' up on a mountain, To sow a little cane . . . Put that old gray bonnet On little Liza Jane Goin' up on a mountain, To sow a little cane. Raise a barrel of sorghum, Sweet ittle Liza Jane. (Chorus) Black smoke arisin' Sure sign of rain. Put that old gray bonnet On little Liza Jane. (Chorus) Yonder comes that gal of mine, How do you think I know? Tell by that gingham gown Hangin' down so low. (Chorus) Bake them biscuits, baby, Bake 'em good and brown When you get them biscuits baked, We're Alabama bound. (Chorus)
