Santiana gained the day!
Away Santiana
He gained the day at Monterey
All across the plains of Mexico!
Chorus
Heave a rope and away we’ll go
Heave away Santiana
Heave a rope and away we’ll go
All across the plains of Mexico!
Oh, Santiana’s men were brave,
Away Santiana
And many found a hero's grave.
All across the plains of Mexico!
Chorus
And Santiana's dead and gone
Away Santiana
And all the fighting has been done
All across the plains of Mexico!
Chorus
We dug his grave with a silver spade
Away, Santiana
And marked the spot where he was laid
All across the plains of Mexico
Chorus
Oh, Santiana we now must mourn,
Away Santiana
We buried him deep around Cape Horn.
All across the plains of Mexico!
Chorus
Yes, we buried him deep aroun Cape Horn
Away Santiana
And close to the spot where he was born
All across the plains of Mexico
Chorus
