Sea Shanty – Santy Anno

Sea Shanty – Santy Anno – Lyrics

Santy Anno gained the day
Away Santy Anno
Oh! Santy Anno gained the day
Along the plains of Mexico

Mexico, oh Mexico
Away Santy Anno
Mexico is a place I know
Along the plains of Mexico

Nassau girls ain’t got no comb
Away Santy Anno
They combs their hair with a kipper backbone
Along the plains of Mexico

Mexico, oh Mexico
Away Santy Anno
Mexico is a place I know
Along the plains of Mexico

Them yaller skin girls I do adore
Away Santy Anno
With their shinin’ eyes and their cold black hair
Along the plains of Mexico

Mexico, oh Mexico
Away Santy Anno
Mexico is a place I know
Along the plains of Mexico

Why do them yaller girls love me so
Away Santy Anno
Because I don’t tell them all I know
Along the plains of Mexico

Mexico, oh Mexico
Away Santy Anno
Mexico is a place I know
Along the plains of Mexico

When I was a young man in my prime
Away Santy Anno
I’d knock those scouse girls two at a time
Along the plains of Mexico

Mexico, oh Mexico
Away Santy Anno
Mexico is a place I know
Along the plains of Mexico

Skipper likes whiskey, the maid likes rum
Away Santy Anno
The crew likes both, but we can’t get non
Along the plains of Mexico

Mexico, oh Mexico
Away Santy Anno
Mexico is a place I know
Along the plains of Mexico

Times is hard and the wages low
Away Santy Anno
It’s time for us to roll and go
Along the plains of Mexico

Mexico, oh Mexico
Away Santy Anno
Mexico is a place I know
Along the plains of Mexico

Santy Anno gained the day
Away Santy Anno
Oh! Santy Anno gained the day
Along the plains of Mexico

Mexico, oh Mexico
Away Santy Anno
Mexico is a place I know
Along the plains of Mexico

Mexico, oh Mexico
Away Santy Anno
Mexico is a place I know
Along the plains of Mexico
