Santy Anna

(앨범: Down To The Sea In Ships - 1956)

Oh have you heard the latest news
Heave away, Santy Anna
The Yankees they took Vera Cruz
All on the plains of Mexico

Oh, Santy Anna fought for fame
Heave away, Santy Anna
He fought for fame and gained his name
All on the plains of Mexico

Oh, Santy Anna had a wooden leg:
Heave away, Santy Anna
He used it for a wooden peg
All on the plains of Mexico

Brave General Taylor gained the day
Heave away, Santy Anna
And Santy Anna run away
All on the plains of Mexico

Ah, then we smashed them up and down
Heave away, Santy Anna
We captured all of that Mexican ground
All on the plains of Mexico

The ladies there I do adore
Heave away, Santy Anna
I always want to be ashore
All on the plains of Mexico

You've loved me dear and you taught me well
Heave away, Santy Anna
I'd rather be here than frying in hell
All on the plains of Mexico
