Santy Anna (2)

Oh Santy Anna gained the day
Hurray, Santy Anna
General Taylor run away
All on the plains of Mexico

Chorus:

So heave her up and away we go
Hurray, Santy Anna
Heave her up and away we go
All on the plains of Mexico

Oh Santy Anna fought for fame
Hurray, Santy Anna
That's where Santy gained his name
All on the plains of Mexico

Chorus

Santy Anna fought for gold
Hurray, Santy Anna
And often have his deeds been told
All on the plains of Mexico

Chorus

Oh Santy Anna's day is o'er
Hurray, Santy Anna
Santy Anna will fight no more
All on the plains of Mexico

Chorus

I thought I heard the old man say
Hurray, Santy Anna
He'd give us grog this very day
All on the plains of Mexico
