4.San Miguel
作詞: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, ‽Thank you, Manuel†or ‽Manuel, poor favorâ€
Or ‽Good evening, Manuel, La Dona Maria Elena Cantrellâ€
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 Cantrellâ€
You serve at the ranch, you hold her chair
You carry her boxes, trunks, letters, and books here and there
She says, ‽Thank you, Manuel†or ‽Manuel, poor favorâ€
Or ‽Good evening, Manuel, La Dona Maria Elena Cantrellâ€
But I hear with my heart
What she says with her eyes with
‽Good evening, Manuel†or ‽Manuel, poor favorâ€
Or ‽The carriage, Manuel†or ‽Manuel, close the doorâ€
