Scraping up sand in the bottom of the sea,
Shiloh, Shiloh,
Scraping up sand in the bottom of the sea,
Shiloh Liza Jane

Chorus
Oh, how I love her,
O Liza Jane
Oh how I love her,
Goodbye, Liza Jane

2. Black those shoes and make them shine.

3. A hump-backed mule I'm bound to ride

4. Hopped up a chicken and he flew upstairs.

this was a song that my nana used to sing for me before i go to sleep that is why this has a very sentimental meaning for me especially when my nana passed away. have not heard of this for quite a while now, maybe i could sing this to my little nieces and they could pass ont he tradition now that i got the lyrics here, this would be a big help as i never quite got the whole lyrics of the song.
