Santiana

[Verse 1]
Oh Santiana gained a day
Away Santiana!
"Napoleon of the West", they say
Along the plains of Mexico

[Chorus]
Well, heave 'er up and away we'll go
Away Santiana!
Heave 'er up and away we'll go
Along the plains of Mexico

[Verse 2]
She's a fast clipper ship and a bully good crew
Away Santiana!
And an old salty yank for a captain too
Along the plains of Mexico

[Chorus]
Well, heave 'er up and away we'll go
Away Santiana!
Heave 'er up and away we'll go
Along the plains of Mexico

[Verse 3]
Santiana fought for gold
Away Santiana!
Around Cape Horn through the ice and snow
Along the plains of Mexico

[Chorus]
Well, heave 'er up and away we'll go
Away Santiana!
Heave 'er up and away we'll go
Along the plains of Mexico

[Verse 4]
T'was on the field of Molly-Del-Ray
Away Santiana!
Well, both his legs got blown away
Along the plains of Mexico

[Chorus]
Well, heave 'er up and away we'll go
Away Santiana!
Heave 'er up and away we'll go
Along the plains of Mexico

[Verse 5]
It was a fierce and bitter strife
Away Santiana!
The general Taylor took his life
Along the plains of Mexico

[Chorus]
Well, heave 'er up and away we'll go
Away Santiana!
Heave 'er up and away we'll go
Along the plains of Mexico

[Verse 6]
Santiana, now we mourn
Away Santiana!
We left him buried off Cape Horn
Along the plains of Mexico
