San Miguel

San Miguel - Lonnie Donegan

Down by the mission san miguel

Is a great house where in dwell

Don carlos and la dona maria elena cantrell

I work at the ranch and i saddle her mare

I ride with the gun behind

As she visits her friends here and there

She says 'Thank you manuel'

Or 'Manuel por favor'

Or 'Good evening manuel'

La dona maria elena cantrell

I dream of the mission san miguel and it says to me

The mission bell 'She is married manuel'

She's a wife of the rancher don carlos cantrell

But you serve at the ranch

And 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 '
