Will,

I don't know how much you know about your computer. What Rasta is explaining is that Joe Offer gave you a link for a site that has Kingston Trio lyrics. You can reach that link if you CLICK HERE. If you go there, you should save the site's address by "bookmarking" it. Check with your web browser's help area if you don't know how to bookmark.

I went to the site and got you this information.

SAN MIGUEL
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, 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."

At the 'Cat, we are happy to educate you about how to search for lyrics, both here and elsewhere. We also encourage you to become independent and learn to search on your own. If you have more questions, please feel free to ask on this thread or elsewhere.

Enjoy the song!!
