lyrics

Es bonita la Azucena, la Rosa y el Fandanguito
No he sentido cosa buena que los dulces besitos
Que me diera esa morena

La Azucena, la Rosa, and el Fandanguito are beautiful Huapangos
But nothing is quite as good
As the sweet kisses from that woman

Yo soñe que te iba a besar
Pero tú desapareces al momento de acercar
Tuve que dormir tres veces para volverte a soñar

I dreamed I was about to kiss you
But right as I leaned in, you disappeared
I had to fall asleep three times
Until I could dream of you again

Soy como la hierba buena
Que por dondequiera trasciendo
Yo le digo a mi morena
Que cuando me estoy muriendo que me cante la Azucena
Para irme divertiendo

I'm like a sprig of mint
Growing like a weed wherever
I tell my woman that when I'm getting ready to die
To start singing "La Azucena"
So I can go out in style

Powerful collection rooted in the stories that must be re-told. Played by some of the most generous community music people I’ve met during my foray into Old Time music. This CD is a keeper! Ellen B. (Elly) Marshall

This rendition of Virgil Anderson's "Jenny Hang the Kettle On" is wonderful. It perfectly grabs the simplistic beauty of Virgil's version, but has such clarity. Amazing album! Payton Scott

Ken Landreth is one of my favorite banjo players of all time. This whole album is amazing! Makes me miss those hot sunny days in the Mt. Airy flatlands watching these guys shred. altacke
