Santy Anna



O Santy Anna gained the day

Hoo-ray, Santy Anna!

He lost it once but gained it twice

All on the plains of Mexico!



O Santy Anna fought for fame

And that's where Santy gained his name.



O Santy Anna fought for gold

And the deeds he done have oft been told.



And Santy Anna fought for his life

But he gained his way in a terrible strife.



O Santy Anna's day is o'er

And Santy Anna will fight no more.



I thought I heard the old man say

He'd give us grog this very day.



From Colcord-Songs of American Sailormen. Recorded by Lloyd and

MacColl. Reportedly, the last whaler to return to New Bedford

hauled into dock to this shanty.
