Noting some differences in the Lomax Web recording of Rasmussen's singing of "Santiana", and the version in "Folk Songs of North America", page 54, where it is given as "Santy Anno". Colcord (referenced in "Folk Songs"), gives "Santy Anna". Doerflinger (referenced also), gives "Santy Anna". But Doerflinger does give an "o" version in order to rhyme with Mexico. Even so, that version has the title "Santy Anna". Hugill ("Shanties from the Seven Seas") prefers "Santiana". I'm no Henry Higgins but Albert is singing Santiana as one word, and the ending is definitely "a", rather than "o". Call it Shantyman's perogative.
