San Miguel

San Miguel - Lonnie Donegan & His Group

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 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 ev'ning 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

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 ev'ning manuel or manuel por favor

Or the carriage manuel or manuel close the door
