Burl Ives - Santy Anna lyrics
[Burl Ives - Santy Anna lyrics]
Heave away, Santy Anna
The Yankees they took Vera Cruz
All on the plains of Mexico
Oh, Santy Anna fought for fame
Heave away, Santy Anna
He fought for fame and gained his name
All on the plains of Mexico
Oh, Santy Anna had a wooden leg:
Heave away, Santy Anna
He used it for a wooden peg
All on the plains of Mexico
Brave General Taylor gained the day
Heave away, Santy Anna
And Santy Anna run away
All on the plains of Mexico
Ah, then we smashеd them up and down
Heave away, Santy Anna
Wе captured all of that Mexican ground
All on the plains of Mexico
The ladies there I do adore
Heave away, Santy Anna
I always want to be ashore
All on the plains of Mexico
You've loved me dear and you taught me well
Heave away, Santy Anna
I'd rather be here than frying in hell
All on the plains of Mexico
