Oh 'liza oh! Oh 'liza oh! Oh 'liza oh! Oh 'liza oh! 'liza 'pread you coat make I lie down dé under the Bushatahl.
"Coat" is petticoat. I am told that 'liza could take off a petticoat and still be quite properly dressed.
"Make I lie down," etc., i.e., let me lie down under the Butcher's Stall. This is the name of a precipice just below my house. Horses have several times fallen over it and been killed. They then become butcher's meat for the John Crows, the vulture-like birds which are so useful as scavengers.
