Santiana lyrics

Oh, Santiana gained the day!

(Away Santiana!)

Napoleon of the West, they say!

(Along the plains of Mexico!)

Well heave her up and away we'll go,

Away Santiana,

Heave her up and away we'll go,

Along the plains of Mexico

She's a fast clipper ship and a bully good crew

(Away Santiana!)

and an old salt yank for a captain too

(Along the plains of Mexico!)

Well heave her up and away we'll go,

Away Santiana,

Heave her up and away we'll go,

Along the plains of Mexico

Santiana fought for gold,

(Away Santiana!)

Around Cape Horn through the ice and snow

(Along the plains of Mexico!)

Well heave her up and away we'll go,

Away Santiana,

Heave her up and away we'll go,

Along the plains of Mexico

Twas on the field of Molley-Del-Rey

(Away Santiana!)

Well both his legs got blown away

(Along the plains of Mexico!)

Well heave her up and away we'll go,

Away Santiana,

Heave her up and away we'll go,

Along the plains of Mexico

It was a fierce and bitter strife

(Away Santiana!)

the General Taylor took his life

(Along the plains of Mexico!)

Well heave her up and away we'll go,

Away Santiana,

Heave her up and away we'll go,

Along the plains of Mexico

Santiana now we mourn,

(Away Santiana!)

We left him buried off Cape Horn

(Along the plains of Mexico!)
