Santy Anna

Santy Anna fought for fame
heave away, Santy Anna
he fought for fame and gained his name
along the plains of Mexico

Refrein
(so let's) heave her up and away we'll go
heave away, Santy Anna
heave her up and away we'll go
along the plains of Mexico

General Taylor gained the day
and Santy Anna ran away

sailin' down the river from Liverpool
the wind is high and the holds are full

Santy Anna had a wooden leg
he used it for a carry' beachpig

refrein

there is plenty of birds so I've been told
ready to take a seaman's goal

oh, the work's damn'd hard and the wages low
it's time for us to roll and go
