Santyanno

Santyanno gained the day

Away, Santyanno

Oh, Santyanno gained the day

All on the plains of Mexico

Mexico, oh Mexico

Away, Santyanno

Ah, Mexico is a place I know

All on the plains of Mexico

Nassau girls ain't got no combs

Away, Santyanno

They comb their hair with a kipper back bone

All on the plains of Mexico

Mexico, oh Mexico

Away, Santyanno

Ah, Mexico is a place I know

All on the plains of Mexico

Them yellow-skinned girls I do adore

Away, Santyanno

With their shining eyes and their coal-black hair

All on the plains of Mexico

Mexico, oh Mexico

Away, Santyanno

Ah, Mexico is a place I know

All on the plains of Mexico

Why do them yellow gals love me so?

Away, Santyanno

Because I don't tell 'em all I know.

All on the plains of Mexico

Mexico, oh Mexico

Away, Santyanno

Ah, Mexico is a place I know

All on the plains of Mexico

When I was young and in my prime,

Away, Santyanno

I'd knock them scouse girls two at a time

All on the plains of Mexico

Mexico, oh Mexico

Away, Santyanno

Ah, Mexico is a place I know

All on the plains of Mexico

Skipper likes whiskey, the mate likes rum

Away, Santyanno

The crew loves both but we can't get none.

All on the plains of Mexico

Mexico, oh Mexico

Away, Santyanno

Ah, Mexico is a place I know

All on the plains of Mexico

Times is hard and the wages low

Away, Santyanno

It's time for us to roll and go

All on the plains of Mexico

Mexico, oh Mexico

Away, Santyanno

Ah, Mexico is a place I know

All on the plains of Mexico
