PADRE OF OLD SAN ANTONE
Written by Tim Spencer
(Recorded March 16, 1954 and July 29, 1958)


I strolled to an old mission garden
And as I was kneeling alone
An arm gently fell on my shoulder
It was the Padre of Old San Antone

We went for a walk in the garden
And as we were talking alone
He told why he came to the mission
To the mission in Old San Antone

Then the chapel bells - they rang
And an angel chorus sang
"Mi amore, Thea ma mio"
From the sky...

Then he kneeled down to pray in the garden
And whispered "Mi amore, mi Corazonne"
Then I knew that his love was an angel
The Padre of Old San Antone.

(Omitted in second recording)

Then the chapel bells - they rang
And an angel chorus sang
"Mi amore, Thea ma mio"
From the sky...

Then he kneeled down to pray in the garden
And whispered "Mi amore, mi Corazonne"
Then I knew that his love was an angel
The Padre of Old San Antone
