Subject: Heave Away Santiana / Aweigh Santy Ano From: SharonA Date: 16 Apr 02 - 11:24 AM I'm looking for the lyrics to "Heave Away, Santiana", also known as "Aweigh, Santy Ano" (and also known as several similar titles, no doubt!). I found a Mudcat thread with the tune, submitted by John Brisbane, here: TUNE ADD: Santiana ... and one set of lyrics here, but not the set that I'm after: http://www.contemplator.com/folk4/santyano.html The lyrics I want – the ones I'm familiar with – include references to Bonaparte, Waterloo and Mexico. I did find them on the internet, but not in English! Here they are: http://urtica.linuxnews.pl/~kbryd/lyr ics/display_song.php?id=4920 So, before I dig through my old LP's to try to find these lyrics, can anyone else post 'em (in a language I can read – and sing)? Thanks! Sharon |

Subject: Lyr Add: AWEIGH, SANTY ANO From: SharonA Date: 16 Apr 02 - 11:43 AM FYI, here are the lyrics from this page: http://www.contemplator.com/folk4/santyano.html (since this site apparently isn't always "up"): AWEIGH, SANTY ANO From Boston Town we're bound away, Heave aweigh (Heave aweigh!) Santy Ano. Around Cape Horn to Frisco Bay, We're bound for Californi-o. So Heave her up and away we'll go, Heave aweigh (Heave aweigh!) Santy Ano. Heave her up and away we'll go, We're bound for Californi-o. She's a fast clipper ship and a bully crew, Heave aweigh (Heave aweigh!) Santy Ano. A down-east Yankee for her captain, too. We're bound for Californi-o. So Heave her up and away we'll go, Heave aweigh (Heave aweigh!) Santy Ano. Heave her up and away we'll go, We're bound for Californi-o. Back in the days of Forty-nine, Heave aweigh (Heave aweigh!) Santy Ano. Those were the days of the good old times, Way out in Californi-o. So Heave her up and away we'll go, Heave aweigh (Heave aweigh!) Santy Ano. Heave her up and away we'll go, We're bound for Californi-o. When I leave ship I'll settle down Heave aweigh (Heave aweigh!) Santy Ano I'll marry a girl named Sally Brown Way out in Californi-o So Heave her up and away we'll go, Heave aweigh (Heave aweigh!) Santy Ano. Heave her up and away we'll go, We're bound for Californi-o. There's plenty of gold, so I've been told, Heave aweigh (Heave aweigh!) Santy Ano. Plenty of gold so I've been told Way out in Californi-o So Heave her up and away we'll go, Heave aweigh (Heave aweigh!) Santy Ano. Heave her up and away we'll go, We're bound for Californi-o. Again, there is a different set of lyrics that I'm looking for, concerning Waterloo and Bonaparte. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Heave Away Santiana / Aweigh Santy Ano From: Sorcha Date: 16 Apr 02 - 11:45 AM Your link to the ones you know doesn't work for me, Sharon. What language is it? |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Heave Away Santiana / Aweigh Santy Ano From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 16 Apr 02 - 11:51 AM That link URL had a space in it in the middle of lyrics. This one should work. The Poles are great on sea shanties - the late Stan Hugill is very big there I gather.
One problem for anyone get hunting for this is there are so many different ways of writing the name. Santiana, Santy Ano, Santy Anna.

In the meantime, here are the addresses to copy-and-paste: http://www.contemplator.com/folk4/santyano.html http://urtica.linuxnews.pl/~kbryd/lyrics/display_song.php?id=4920 I think that the latter address is the one MMario referred to (I don't recognize Polish when I see it, so I don't know for sure!). |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Heave Away Santiana / Aweigh Santy Ano From: masato sakurai Date: 16 Apr 02 - 12:01 PM Sharon's links is this: Szanty: Heave away Santiana (in Polish). ] |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Heave Away Santiana / Aweigh Santy An From: SharonA Date: 16 Apr 02 - 12:14 PM Thanks, masato. Okay, now I know what Polish looks like! But if the lyrics don't exist on the internet in English, it looks like I'm destined to dive into my record collection and find them (hopefully they're printed on the jacket sleeve so I don't have to try to transcribe them!). Here I go!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Heave Away Santiana / Aweigh Santy Ano From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 16 Apr 02 - 01:21 PM Here is a version the Watersons sang - the thing is, as with most shanties, there are so many floating verses that any version is likely to be a bit different. That's one reason why they had shantymen. |
|
Subject: RE: The Plains of Mexico / Way hey Santy Anna From: SharonA Date: 16 Apr 02 - 01:49 PM I'm baaaaack... Thanks, Kevin, for linking the Watersons version, "The Plains of Mexico". Yeah, "floating" verses is just the right term!! *G* There seem to be two distinct categories of verse for this shanty, though: one having to do with sailing a ship and sporting with the women in port, the other having to do with historical references to Mexican President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna and a battle with General (Zachary?) Taylor. The Polish version, linked above, seems to have combined verses from both categories. Are there any 'Catters who can translate that Polish version to English? If not, there's a pretty sizeable Polish population in this area; in fact, there's a Polish shrine not far from here, so perhaps I can find someone to translate it (if I do, I'll post the lyrics) Anyway, I found the Folkways LP I was looking for – #FA 2312, © 1951 – and carnsarn it, I scratched the back of my wooden dining-room chair in the process of getting to my albums (see "Tips for Getting Organized" thread!). Ah well, any music quest is worth a little furniture damage; besides, the chair wasn't in A-1 condition to begin with! *G* I'll type up the lyrics and put them in a separate post. |

Subject: Lyr Add: SANTY ANNA From: SharonA Date: 16 Apr 02 - 02:14 PM Okay, here are the details from FOLKWAYS RECORDS Album #FA 2312 © 1951, "Songs of the Sea sung by Alan Mills and the 'Shanty Men' " (with notes by Edith Fowke): "The shanty... about 'Santy Anna' plays fast and loose with history. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna (1795-1876) was the last President of Mexico before the United States annexed California, Texas and New Mexico. He was badly beaten by the Americans under General Taylor at the battle of Molina Del Rey in 1847. Originally the shanty told how 'General Taylor won the day, and Santy Anna ran away', but by some strange metamorphosis, Santy Anna became the hero of the battle he had lost." References (for comparative versions): Colcord, Joanna C., SONGS OF AMERICAN SAILORMAN, W.W. Norton & Co., New York, 1938; p. 84 Doerflinger, William, SHANTYMEN AND SHANTYBOYS, Macmillan, New York, 1951; p. 78 Ives, Burl, SEA SONGS OF SAILING, WHALING AND FISHING, Ballantine, New York, 1956; p. 48 Sharp, Cecil J., PULLING SHANTIES, Novello, London, 1919; p. 49 Terry, R.R., THE SHANTY BOOK Part I, J. Curwen, London, 1921; p. 18 Whall, Capt. W.B., SHIPS, SEA SONGS AND SHANTIES, James Brown & Son, Glasgow, 1912; p. 89 SANTY ANNA Oh, Santy Anna gained the day chorus: HOORAY, SANTY ANNA! Oh, Santy Anna gained the day chorus: ALL ON THE PLAINS OF MEXICO! Oh, Gen'ral Taylor ran away chorus: HOORAY, SANTY ANNA! He ran away at Monterrey chorus: ALL ON THE PLAINS OF MEXICO! Oh, Santy Anna fought for fame chorus: HOORAY, SANTY ANNA! And that's where Santy gained his name chorus: ALL ON THE PLAINS OF MEXICO! Oh, Santy Anna fought for gold chorus: HOORAY, SANTY ANNA! And the deeds he done have oft been told chorus: ALL ON THE PLAINS OF MEXICO! Oh, Santy Anna's day is o'er chorus: HOORAY, SANTY ANNA! And Santy Anna will fight no more chorus: ALL ON THE PLAINS OF MEXICO! Oh, Santy Anna won the day chorus: HOORAY, SANTY ANNA! And Gen'ral Taylor ran away chorus: ALL ON THE PLAINS OF MEXICO! -------------------------------------------------- So this album's version of the shanty doesn't mention Bonaparte, either; I was confusing it with the shanty that preceded it on the LP, "Boney Was a Warrior". Curious, then, that there's a version that does mention Bonaparte!! |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Heave Away Santiana / Aweigh Santy An From: SharonA Date: 16 Apr 02 - 02:27 PM "Plains of Mexico" seems to be the better keyword for finding versions of this shanty on www.google.com (I'm getting many hits using the following keywords: "plains of Mexico" lyrics shanty). |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Heave Away Santiana / Aweigh Santy Ano From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 16 Apr 02 - 02:28 PM I was wondering how Boney got into the song.
Here's another indication of how keen the Poles seem to be on sea shanties. |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Heave Away Santiana / Aweigh Santy Ano From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Date: 16 Apr 02 - 02:29 PM HEAVE AWAY SANTIANA is translated here: Santiana Molly del Rey is Monterrey (as more correctly given in the Polish lyrics). How the translator came up with "Molly" is a puzzlement. |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Heave Away Santiana / Aweigh Santy Ano From: MMario Date: 16 Apr 02 - 02:33 PM But again - the version without bonaparte and waterloo!
it's a hoax, that's what it is. someone is trying to drive SharonA |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Heave Away Santiana / Aweigh Santy Ano From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Date: 16 Apr 02 - 02:35 PM Just noticed- the translation leaves out Bony and Sally Brown. Oh, well, no two shanty singers ever use the same words. It seems to be a mental condition (hopefully not genetic) of shanty singers. |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Heave Away Santiana / Aweigh Santy An From: SharonA Date: 16 Apr 02 - 02:45 PM MMario sez: "someone is trying to drive SharonA crazy crazier nuts!" If so, they are 'way too late! :^D |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Heave Away Santiana / Aweigh Santy A From: GUEST,greg stephens Date: 16 Apr 02 - 02:48 PM used to rather like the Kingston Trio doing this song (till I learnt they were Not a Good Thing) |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Heave Away Santiana / Aweigh Santy Ano From: Dead Horse Date: 16 Apr 02 - 03:31 PM This shanty was popular with the Brits when praising the virtues of that noble hero Santy Anna what went and fought them insurrectionist colonial Yankees. The true(er) version was popular with the heroic upholders of freedom (them same Yankees) as it told the virtues of Gen Z Taylor. The *Molly-Del-Ray* was sailor jargon, and it was sailors what sung it!!!That is also why some versions include Boney, as sailors were always well educated scholastic sorts, and liked to include references to any old sod that did well in OTHER shanties :-) You can sing the chorus as *Plains of Mexico*, *Bay of Mexico*, *Off to Californi-o*, or any other damn *i-o* and still be correct. You may include Ranzo, his son, his father, Stormalong John and HIS son/father, Boney, Wellington, the Tsar of all the Russias AND his uncle. If the job at hand was long enough (pumping out the bilges of a tea-strainer, for instance) then sooner or later the whole world would go by, a bit like Grand Central Station. I prefer the *heroic Santy Anna* version myself, but I never sing it without explaining that the truth was totally different, and was only sung this way by us Brits, 'cos we wuz thrashed by them Yankees a couple of years earlier, and wanted to get even. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Heave Away Santiana / Aweigh Santy Ano From: Mrrzy Date: 16 Apr 02 - 03:33 PM I also had an excellent version by Odetta, and another by the Clancy Brothers, with Tommy Makem on their Sing of the Sea album. Odetta does the way out in californi-a version. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Heave Away Santiana / Aweigh Santy Ano From: MMario Date: 16 Apr 02 - 03:52 PM I like Celtic Soul's rendition of this (man - I HOPE I'm right that she took the lead in this...or I am in deep deep doo-dah!)(but I distinctly remmeber it as being her - onstage at least)

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Heave Away Santiana / Aweigh Santy Ano From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 16 Apr 02 - 06:28 PM I'd doubt if the sailors on ships from British ports would have given a toss about the rights and wrongs of the past wars with America, especially since they'd have come from all sorts of places. But I imagine they might have like taking the piss out of any Yankee sailormen (and they'd have been Yankees wherever they came from in the States), and backing Santy Anna in the song might have been a way of doing that.
And anyway Santy Anna is a much more splendid sort of a name than Zachary Taylor. And the underdog winning is always a better story, even if it doesn't happen that often in real life. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Heave Away Santiana / Aweigh Santy Ano From: GUEST,Just Amy Date: 16 Apr 02 - 06:33 PM The chorus of the one I am used to is: Heav'er up and away we'll go, Heave away, Santy Ano Heav'er up and away we'll go, All along the plains of Mexico. I'll send the rest if I remember it. |

Great shanty though. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Heave Away Santiana / Aweigh Santy Ano From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 16 Apr 02 - 07:52 PM So heave her up and away we'll go Heave away, Santy Anner, For there's plenty of gold, so I've been told All on the plains of Mexico. With the idea being that once you get out to Calofornia in the Gold Rush time you jump ship and dig up a fortune. This was I believe a major problem for captains trying to keep a crew together for the homeward trip. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Heave Away Santiana / Aweigh Santy Ano From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Date: 16 Apr 02 - 10:21 PM Some ships never returned from California. They were incorporated into the developing San Francisco waterfront area and were eventually buried by fill. In the Spanish-Mexican and earliest American days, Monterey was a port to pick up cattle hides. The words "Around the plains of Mexico" always seemed wrong to me. Why not "coasts"? Any seaman who worked the ports of Mexico would see flat areas on the Gulf side, but on the California side, rough or high country is visible along the coast of Mexico and most of California. For this reason, I have always preferred versions like the one posted early by SharonA. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Heave Away Santiana / Aweigh Santy Ano From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Date: 18 Apr 02 - 11:05 PM As leader of the Mexican forces Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna was never threatened with execution by the victorious Americans. He had retired to Havana, Cuba (after having been president but overthrown- more than once) but returned in 1846. He was offered the presidency, but preferred to lead the Mexican forces. He also assumed the presidency in 1847, but after his defeat, he again "retired" to Jamaica. He returned and assumed the presidency for the FIFTH time in 1853, but was exiled again in 1857. He tried to return twice, but was rejected, first by the French (who had taken over Mexico) and then by the the US Navy in 1867. He returned to Mexico in 1874 and died there in 1876, age 81. He was charismatic and energetic, but repeatedly messed things up. Taylor, of course, was a Mason, as were many US military officers in the 1790-1930 period, and all US presidents from Washington up to Kennedy, when the string was broken. I doubt that Santa Anna was interested in either religion or fraternal organizations in any meaningful way, although nominally Catholic. |
