Talk:Lily of Laguna

It's the same old tale of a palpatating niggar ev'ry time, ev'ry time

It's the same old trouble of a coon dat wants to be married very soon

It's the same old heart dat is longing for it's lady ev'ry time, yes ev'ry time

But not de same girl, not de same girl

She is ma Lily, ma Lily, ma Lily gal

She goes ev'ry sundown, yes ev'ry sundown

Callin' in de cattle up de mountain

I go kase she wants me, yes kase she wants me

Help her do de callin' and de countin'

She plays her music

To call de lone lambs dat roam above

But I'm de black sheep and I'm waitin'

For de signal of ma little lady love

Chorus

She's my ladylove.

She is my dove, my baby love.

She's no girl for sitting down to dream.

She's the only queen Laguna knows.

I know she likes me.

I know she likes me

Because she said so.

She is my Lily of Laguna.

She is my lily and my rose.

When I first met Lil it was down at old Laguna at de dance, oder night

So she says "Say, ah'm curious for to know When ye leave here de way yer goin' to go

'Kase a wants to see who de lady is dat claims ye all way home, way home tonight

I says "I've got no gal, never had one"

And den ma Lily, ma Lily, ma Lily gal

She says, kern't believe ye, a kern't believe ye

Else I'd like to have ye shaperoon me

Dad says he'll esscorcht me, says he'll esscorcht me,

But it's mighty easy for to lose him

Since then each sundown

I wander down here and roam around

Until I know ma little lady wants me

Till I hear de music ob de signal sound
