Thread Name: Lyr Req: Land of Milk and Honey (Eliza Gilkyson)
Subject: RE: Eliza Gilkyson - Land of Milk & Honey
Land O Milk And Honey was the name of a musical on Broadway about early Israel. Could this be the title song from that play!!
IF SO, the same tune was used by Fred Geis for his song called "Goin' Home". That song was recorded by the Kingston Trio ---and it went to number one on the charts before someone realized that the melody was from the opera FAUST by Gounod. The song was quickly pulled by Capitol Records. I believe litigation was avoided.
