Santy Anna |
Oh have you heard the latest news: |
Chorus: Heave away, Santy Anna |
The Yankees they took Vera Cruz. |
Chorus: All on the plains of Mexico. |
Oh, Santy Anna fought for fame. |
He fought for fame and gained his name. |
Oh, Santy Anna had a wooden leg: |
He used it for a wooden peg. |
Brave General Taylor gained the day |
And Santy Anna run away. |
Ah, then we smashed them up and down. |
We captured all of that Mexican ground. |
The ladies there I do adore: |
I always want to be ashore. |
You’ve loved me, dear, and you’ve taught me well |
I’d rather be here than fryin' in Hell. |
