Oh! Santiana gained a day

Away Santiana!

"Napoleon of the West", they say

Along the plains of Mexico

Well, heave 'er up and away we'll go

Away Santiana!

Heave 'er up and away we'll go

Along the plains of Mexico

She's a fast clipper ship and a bully good crew

Away Santiana!

And an old salty yank for a captain too

Along the plains of Mexico

Well, heave 'er up and away we'll go

Away Santiana!

Heave 'er up and away we'll go

Along the plains of Mexico

Santiana fought for gold

Away Santiana!

Around Cape Horn through the ice and snow

Along the plains of Mexico

Well, heave 'er up and away we'll go

Away Santiana!

Heave 'er up and away we'll go

Along the plains of Mexico

T'was on the field of Molly-Del-Ray

Away Santiana!

Well both his legs got blown away

Along the plains of Mexico

Well, heave 'er up and away we'll go

Away Santiana!

Heave 'er up and away we'll go

Along the plains of Mexico

It was a fierce and bitter strife

Away Santiana!

The general Taylor took his life

Along the plains of Mexico

Well, heave 'er up and away we'll go

Away Santiana!

Heave 'er up and away we'll go

Along the plains of Mexico

Santiana, now we mourn

Away Santiana!

We left him buried off Cape Horn

Along the plains of Mexico
