  1.  (F) Never had much to say, he traveled al[Am]one with no friends

   (F) Like a shadowy ghost, at dawn he [Am] came and he went

   (F) Through the woodlands [G] swiftly gliding

   [Em]To the young maid [Am]he came riding 

   [Dm]Where she'd run to meet him At the [G] garden wall.   

   Oh, my sweet Mi[Am]guel   I will never [C]tell

   No one will ever [Am]know   What I know too [C] well

   And he'd smile, and [F] lay his head on her [C] breast

   And he'd [F] say, "Ah, have no [C] fear.  They're [F]waiting for me

   To cross the border, to [G]swim the river, 'cause [C]I've done that

  be[F]fore

   To [G]see my true love's [Am]smiling face, 

   A [F]hundred times or [G]more."

   [Am]"Oh, my [G]sweet Miguel," she [F]cried. "I'll [G]love you 'til I

  [C]die."

  

  2.  [F]He was born to the south, in Mexi[Am]co, they say

   [F]The child of a man who was [Am]soon gone away

   [F]But his mother [G]loved him dearly, 

   [Em]And she would [Am]take him yearly

   [Dm]To the great cathedral in St. Au[G]gustine.  

   "Oh, my young Mig[Am]uel. Listen to the [C]bell 

   Of my pover[Am]ty,  You must never [C]tell."

   And he cried him[F]self to sleep in the [C]night

   And he [F]vowed to make things [C]right.  So he [F]took the gun down

   From the wall and he [G]paid a call H

   He [C]knew she'd under[F]stand

   A [G]lawman came to [Am]capture him, the [F]gun jumped in his [G]hand

   [Am]"Oh, Mig[G]uel," a mother [F]cried. 

   "You must [G]run, son or you'll [C]die."

  

  3.  [F]So the story is told of his true [Am]love, 'cross the line

   [F]As strong as the oak, and as [Am]sweet as the vine 

   [F]And the child [G]that she bore him 

   [Em]Came on that [Am]fateful morning

   [Dm]When they send him to his [G]final rest. 

   "Oh, my sweet Mig[Am]uel.  I will never [C]tell.  

   No one will ever [Am]know  what I know too [C]well."

   And she'd smile, and [F]lay the child on her [C]breast

   And she'd [F]say, "Ah, have no [C]fear.  I'm [F]waiting for you

   To cross the border, to [G]swim the river 

   'Cause [C]you've done that [F]before

   To [G]see your true love's [Am]smiling face, a [F]hundred times or [G]more.

   [Am]"Oh, my [G]sweet Miguel," she [F]cried. "I'll [G]love you 'til I

  [C]die."
