  1. Oh I\u2019m going up to London, I\u2019ll marry little Liza
    \nOh Liza is a pretty gal, and everybody knows it!<\/li>\n
  2. My Liza she\u2019s a lady, you\u2019d never call her shady
    \nBut Liza she\u2019s a flash one, she loves a salty sailor.<\/li>\n
  3. As she went down to market, she met a handsome sailor,
    \nShe met a handsome sailor, just paid off from a whaler.<\/li>\n
  4. Said pretty boy to Liza, why don\u2019t you two get married?<\/li>\n
  5. But now he\u2019s gone and left her, that man who was her keeper.
    \nHe\u2019s gone north in a whaler, just like any sailor.<\/li>\n
  6. Still she loves all sailors, she brings \u2018em rum and \u2018baccy
    \nStill she loves all sailors, she loves \u2018em right handy.<\/li>\n
  7. I\u2019ll see her boys tomorrow and oh, we\u2019re gonna holler.
    \nI\u2019ll see her boys tomorrow, and you know what\u2019ll follow.<\/li>\n
  8. We\u2019ll haul and stretch her luff boys, the bastard\u2019s gettin\u2019 tough boys.
    \nHaul and pull together, let\u2019s haul for better weather.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
