Never had much to say[00:00:13]
He traveled alone with no friends[00:00:15]
Like a shadowy ghost[00:00:19]
At dawn he came and he went[00:00:20]
Through the woodland swiftly gliding[00:00:25]
To the young maid he came riding[00:00:28]
Where she'd run to meet him[00:00:31]
By the garden wall[00:00:33]
Oh my sweet Miguel[00:00:36]
I will never tell[00:00:39]
No one will ever know[00:00:42]
What I know too well[00:00:46]
And he'd smile and lay his head on her breast[00:00:49]
And he'd say I have no fear[00:00:54]
They're waiting for me to cross the border to swim the river[00:00:57]
I've done that before[00:01:02]
To see my true love's smiling face[00:01:05]
A hundred times or more[00:01:08]
Oh my sweet Miguel she cried[00:01:11]
I'll love you till I die[00:01:15]
He was born to the south[00:01:33]
In Mexico they say[00:01:35]
The child of a man[00:01:39]
Who had soon gone away[00:01:42]
But his mother loved him dearly[00:01:45]
And she would take him yearly[00:01:48]
To the great cathedral in St Augustine[00:01:52]
Oh my young Miguel[00:01:57]
Listen to the bell[00:02:00]
Of my poverty[00:02:03]
You must never tell[00:02:06]
And he cried himself to sleep in the night[00:02:09]
And he vowed to make things right[00:02:14]
So he took the gun down from the wall and he paid a call[00:02:17]
He knew she'd understand[00:02:22]
A lawman came to capture him[00:02:24]
The gun jumped in his hand[00:02:28]
Oh Miguel the mother cried[00:02:32]
You must run son or you'll die[00:02:36]
So the story is told[00:02:54]
Of his true love cross the line[00:02:56]
As strong as the oak[00:03:00]
And as sweet as the vine[00:03:02]
And the child she bore him[00:03:06]
Came on that fateful mornin[00:03:09]
When they sent him to his final rest[00:03:12]
Oh my sweet Miguel[00:03:17]
Listen to the bell[00:03:20]
No one will ever know[00:03:23]
What I know too well[00:03:26]
And she'd smile and lay the child on her breast[00:03:30]
And she'd say I have no fear[00:03:35]
I'm waiting for you to cross the border to swim the river[00:03:38]
Cause you've done that before[00:03:43]
To see your true love's smiling face[00:03:46]
A hundred times or more[00:03:49]
Oh my sweet Miguel she cried[00:03:52]
I'll love you till I die[00:03:56]
