Oh! Santiana gained a day

Away Santiana

"Napoleon of the West" they say

Along the plains of Mexico

Well, heave her up and away we'll go

Away Santiana

Heave her up and away we'll go

Along the plains of Mexico

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

Well, heave her up and away we'll go

Away Santiana

Heave her up and away we'll go

Along the plains of Mexico

Santiana fought for gold

Away Santiana

Around Cape Horn, through the ice and snow

Along the plains of Mexico

Well, heave her up and away we'll go

Away Santiana

Heave her up and away we'll go

Along the plains of Mexico

'Twas on the field of Molly del Rey

Away Santiana

Well, both his legs got blown away

Along the plains of Mexico

Well, heave her up and away we'll go

Away Santiana

Heave her up and away we'll go

Along the plains of Mexico

It was a fierce and bitter strife

Away Santiana

The General Taylor took his life

Along the plains of Mexico

Well, heave her up and away we'll go

Away Santiana

Heave her up and away we'll go

Along the plains of Mexico

Oh, Santiana gained a day

Away Santiana

"Napoleon of the West" they say

Along the plains of Mexico

Well, heave her up and away we'll go

Away Santiana!

Heave her up and away we'll go

Along the plains of Mexico

Santiana, now we mourn

Away Santiana

We left him buried off Cape Horn

Along the plains of Mexico
