San Miguel (Remastered 2021)

San Miguel (Remastered 2021) - Lonnie Donegan

Written by：Jane G. R. Bowers

Down by the mission San Miguel is a great house

Wherein dwell Don Carlos and La Dona Maria Elena Cantrell

And 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 capel

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

She is the 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

Good ev'ning Manuel

Or Manuel por capel

Or the carriage Manuel

Or Manuel close the door
