San Miguel

Down by the mission
San Miguel is a great house

Wherein dwell Don Carlos

And La Dona Maria Elena Cantrell

I work at the ranch I saddle her mare
I ride with a gun behind
She visits her friends here and there
She says Thank you Manuel or Manuel por favor

La Dona Maria Elena Cantrell

I dream of the mission San Miguel
And it says to me the mission bell
She is married Manuel the wife of the rancher
Don Carlos Cantrell
You serve at the ranch you hold her chair

You carry her boxes trunks letters
And books here and there
But I hear with my heart
What she says with her eyes
With good evening Manuel or Manuel por favor

Or The carriage Manuel or Manuel close the door
