This is pure speculation on my part :

The lyrics "And she would take him yearly
To the great cathedral in St. Augustine"

suggest that a cathedral was located in Saint Augustine, Mexico. I have not been able to find such a place.

In fact, there is a Saint Augustine Cathedral (quite beautiful) right here in Tucson. So my hunch is that a Saint Augustine town/city/settlement has never existed.

Where's Don Quixote when you need him?
