Santianna

Santianna gained the day
(Away, Santianna)
Santianna gained the day
(All along the plains of Mexico)

     Heave her up and away we’ll go 
     Away, Santianna
     Heave her up and away we’ll go
     All along the plains of Mexico

He gained the day at Monterrey
And General Taylor ran away

Santianna fought for fame
And Santianna made his name

Santianna fought for gold
He fought for the young and he fought for the old

Santianna lost his leg
Now he fights with a wooden peg

Santianna’s dead and gone
And Santianna’s day is done
