In Old California 5
Monsignor Father Saez is mission priest,
and he's confessor priest to brothers both.
His mission's high on rise and faces east,
none better ever made his sacred oath.
For life man gave himself to bride betroth,
and combination fine put souls at ease.
Assigned to other mission priest would loath.
Such opportune chance he would never seize.
Now Jose, Dona Rose have daughter grown,
her name is Margarita May Elaine.
Skin's white, lips ruby, tresses ebon tone.
To know fair maid is pleasure great to gain.
In chapel's nave all eyes on her do strain.
With Margarita's Jose, Dona Rose.
All take Mass late in nave this day with rain,
because of rain, soon chapel doors will close
