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
