| she's shocked to find somebody there With a sun-beaten face, and a silver-grey head He knelt on the floor unaware He said "I'm sorry madam" as he lent her his hand "I know I must be a strange sight but I've been coming here for some thirty odd years ever since my sweet lady died but I sure am glad you listened Oh, I sure am glad you came I've been waiting here in this mission ever since that day" Oh, that summer we met, only fools could forget just how perfect a woman could be by the time she was late, we had both set a date in a place where she would marry me but a gringo man ashamed of their proud family name and her father forbade it to be so in less than a week, we found her by the creek and the parents blamed it all on me but I sure am glad you listened and I sure am glad you came I've been waiting here in this mission ever since that day well, her name was marie and the day she met me was the worst day of both of our lives If it wasn't for me, I would truly believe my sweetheart could still be alive She said "Darling ??? don't you recognize me? Though you waited here all of this time They had shipped me away to my family in Spain we can get on with our lives we still have plenty of time 'cause I sure am glad I listened Oh, I sure am glad I came I made looking for you my mission ever since that day oh, I sure am glad you listened oh, I sure am glad you came I've been waiting here in this mission ever since that day and I sure am glad you listened Oh, I sure am glad you came I've been waiting here in this mission ever since that day May God bless you, have a good day" |
