San Miguel Lyrics

The song San Miguel is performed by Kingston Trio .



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 the gun behind as she visits her friends here and there
She says, '€œThank you, Manuel'€ or '€œManuel, poor favor'€
Or '€œGood evening, Manuel, La Dona Maria Elena Cantrell'€

I dream of the mission San Miguel
And it says to me, the mission bell
'€œShe 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
She says, '€œThank you, Manuel'€ or '€œManuel, poor favor'€
Or '€œGood evening, Manuel, La Dona Maria Elena Cantrell'€

But I hear with my heart
What she says with her eyes with
'€œGood evening, Manuel'€ or '€œManuel, poor favor'€
Or '€œThe carriage, Manuel'€ or '€œManuel, close the door'€
