Green Leaves of Summer

2. SANTY ANNA
Oh, Santiana gained the day
    Hooray, Santiana
Oh, Santiana gained the day
    All on the plains of Mexico

But as a military leader, Gates Brown, a historian at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, considers Santa Anna among history's worst for his mistakes in two wars which cost Mexico much of its territory. Wikipedia. The American General Zachary Taylor beat the Mexican General Santa Aña at the battle of Molina del Rey (Buena Vista) in February 1847. Mainly Norfolk.
General Taylor
General Taylor gained the day
    Walk him along, John, carry him along
Oh, General Taylor gained the day
    Carry him to his burying ground
