O! Santianna fought for fame!
Away Santianna!
And Santianna gained a name
All on the plains of Mexico!
Mexico, Mexico,
Away Santianno!
Mexico is a place I know!
All on the plains of Mexico!

O! Santianna had a wooden leg
Heave away, Santianna!
He used it for a cribbage peg
All on the plains of Mexico!

Heave her up, and away we'll go
Heave away, Santianna!
Heave her up, and away we'll go
All on the plains of Mexico

O! Santianna fought for his gold
Heave away, Santianna!
The deeds he did have oft been told
All on the plains of Mexico

O! Santianna gain'd the day,
Heave away, Santianna!
He gain'd the day at Molly-Del-Rey*.
All on the plains of Mexico

He won the day at Molly-Del-Rey,
Heave away, Santianna!
And General Taylor he ran away.
All on the plains of Mexico

O! Santianna fought for his life,
Heave away, Santianna!
He gained his way in the terrible strife.
All on the plains of Mexico

O! Santianna's men were brave,
Heave away, Santianna!
Many found a hero's grave.
All on the plains of Mexico!

O! Santianna's day is o'er,
Heave away, Santianna!
Santianna will fight no more.
All on the plains of Mexico!

O! Santianna's day is gorn,
Heave away, Santianna!
We left him buried off Cape Horn.
All on the plains of Mexico!

We dug his grave with a golden spade,
Heave away, Santianna!
And marked the spot where he was laid.
All on the plains of Mexico
