I met a man the other
day,
he said to me, 'Who’s you’s?'
I said 'Who’s me?'
He said, 'Si, Who’s
you’s?'
I smiled with glee!
His voice was strong
with an accent so clear
I wondered who he was and
what he was doing here.
His name is Miguel and
he is new in our town
looking for work so he
can
hang his hat and settle
down.
Says he likes the place
where he now dwells
down the street a ways
in a boarding house by a
church with loud ringing
bells.
So, off he went
strolling
down the crowded street
say’in 'hello' to all he
would casually meet.
I wish him well in a
new
country to which he has
come
looking for the
American dream
just like everyone!
