GUEST,Hugh Lyr ADD: Santy Anno / Santy Ano / Santy Anna (32) RE: Lyr Req: Santy Anno / Santy Ano / Santy Anna 16 Jul 11


The 'female pirate version' mentioned a dozen years ago, or one like it, is on youtube here

The poster didn't know who the singers were.

lyrics:

The Navy would never have a lass at sea
        Away Santy Ano!
So I went in search of piracy
        All on the coast of Mexico

And now we sail the southern seas
And we'll have those navy lads on their knees

CH. So heave her up and away we'll go
Away Santy Ano!
To Mexico where the warm winds blow
All on the coast of Mexico.

In Mexico I want to be
With a cask of rum on a drinking spree

Them native lads I do adore
With their eyes that shine and coal-black hair

CH.

When I was a young lass in me prime
I had them Irish lads two at a time

But I'll never leave the sea to settle down
When I can have a lad in every town

CH.

Oh the times is hard and the wages low
But we pirates must all roll and go

*

(I'm not entirely sure about the last line)

Hugh
