Product Description
Lily of Laguna was written in 1898 by English composer Leslie Stuart.
The lyrics tell the story of a lonely black American man who falls in love with a woman from the "Laguna" tribe of Pueblo Indians of New Mexico.
Every evening he waits to hear her call her sheep and cattle so that he can go to her unseen by her father.
Laguna, is Spanish, meaning "lake", and derives from a now dry lake located on the tribe's ancestral lands.
It is performed here by David Warin Solomons in his arrangement.
She's my lady love, she is my dove, my baby love,
She's no girl for sittin' down to dream,
She's the only queen Laguna knows;
I know she likes me,
I know she likes me
Because she says so;
She is my Lily of Laguna,
she is my Lily and my Rose.
