San Miguel en 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, "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.
She says, "Thank you, Manuel," or, "Manuel, por
favor," or "Good ev'ning, Manuel,"
La Dona Maria Elena Cantrell.

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."
