Sante Anno

Sante Anno gained the day
Away... Sante Anno
Sante Anno gained the day
 All on the plains of Mexico
 
 So heave her up and away we’ll go
 Heave away Sante Anno
 Heave her up and away we’ll go
 All on the plains of Mexico
 
He gained the day at Molley-Del-Rey
An’ General Taylor ran away.

All of his men were brave & true,
Every soldier brave and true.

Oh, Sante Anno fought for fame,
Oh, Sante Anno gained a name.

An’ Zacharias Taylor ran away,
He ran away at Molley-Del-Rey.

Sante Anno’s men were brave,
Many found a soldier’s grave.

`Twas a fierce & bitter strife,
Hand to hand they fought for life.

An’ Sante Anno’s name is known,
What a man can do was shown.

Oh, Sante Anno fought for his gold,
What deeds he did have oft been told.

`twas on the field of Molley-Del-Rey,
Sante Anno lost a leg that day.

Oh, Sante Anno’s day is o’er,
Sante Anno will fight no more.

Oh, Sante Anno’s gone away,
Far from the field of Molley-Del-Rey.

Oh, Sante Anno now we mourn,
We left him buried off Cape Horn.
