Anonymous - Santianna lyrics

O! Santianna fought for fame! Away Santianna! And Santianna gained a name All on the plains of Mexico! Mexico, Mexico Away Santianno! Mexico is a place I know! All on the plains of Mexico! O! Santianna had a wooden leg Heave away, Santianna! He used it for a cribbage peg All on the plains of Mexico! [Chorus]: Heave her up, and away we'll go Heave away, Santianna! Heave her up, and away we'll go All on the plains of Mexico O! Santianna fought for his gold Heave away, Santianna! The deeds he did have oft been told All on the plains of Mexico [Chorus] O! Santianna gain'd the day Heave away, Santianna! He gain'd the day at Molly-Del-Rey* All on the plains of Mexico [Chorus] He won the day at Molly-Del-Rey Heave away, Santianna! And General Taylor he ran away All on the plains of Mexico [Chorus] O! Santianna fought for his life Heave away, Santianna! He gained his way in the terrible strife All on the plains of Mexico [Chorus] O! Santianna's men were brave Heave away, Santianna! Many found a hero's grave All on the plains of Mexico! [Chorus] O! Santianna's day is o'er Heave away, Santianna! Santianna will fight no more All on the plains of Mexico! [Chorus] O! Santianna's day is gorn Heave away, Santianna! We left him buried off Cape Horn All on the plains of Mexico! [Chorus] We dug his grave with a golden spade Heave away, Santianna! And marked the spot where he was laid All on the plains of Mexico
