One more Santy Anno:

Santy Anna, Ewan MacColl, in Ewan MacColl & A. L. Lloyd, Haul On The Bowlin' and other chanties and foc'sle songs, vol.1, Stinson Recordings, SLP 80

Oh, Santiana gained the day
Hooray, Santy Anno!
Oh, Santiana gained the day
All on the plains of Mexico!

Oh, Mexico, oh, Mexico
Hooray, Santy Anno!
Oh, Mexico, where I must go
All on the plains of Mexico!

Them little gals I do adore
Hooray, Santy Anno!
Their shining eyes and long black hair
All on the plains of Mexico!

Oh, why do them yellow gals love me so?
Hooray, Santy Anno!
Because I don't tell 'em all I know
All on the plains of Mexico!

When I was a young man in my prime
Hooray, Santy Anno!
I knocked them little gals two at a time
All on the plains of Mexico!

Them Liverpool gals ain't got no comb
Hooray, Santy Anno!
They comb their hair with a kipper backbone
All on the plains of Mexico!

Oh, time 't is hard and the wages low
Hooray, Santy Anno!
It's time for us to roll and go
All on the plains of Mexico!
