4.San Miguel
Lyricist：Jane Bowers
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, â½Thank you, Manuelâ or â½Manuel, poor favorâ
Or â½Good evening, Manuel, La Dona Maria Elena Cantrellâ
I dream of the mission San Miguel
And it says to me, the mission bell
â½She is married, Manuel, the wife of the rancher
Don Carlos Cantrellâ
You serve at the ranch, you hold her chair
You carry her boxes, trunks, letters, and books here and there
She says, â½Thank you, Manuelâ or â½Manuel, poor favorâ
Or â½Good evening, Manuel, La Dona Maria Elena Cantrellâ
But I hear with my heart
What she says with her eyes with
â½Good evening, Manuelâ or â½Manuel, poor favorâ
Or â½The carriage, Manuelâ or â½Manuel, close the doorâ
