Santiana

Oh, Santiana gained the day

     Hurrah, Santiana

Oh, Santiana gained the day

     All on the plains of Mexico


Oh, Mexico, Oh Mexico

Oh, Mexico where I must go


Them gorgeous girls I do adore

Their shining eyes and long black hair


Oh, why do them pretty girls love me so?

Because I don’t tell ‘em all I know


When I was a young man in my prime

I’d kiss them pretty girls two at a time


Them Liverpool girls ain’t got no comb, 

They comb their hair with a kipper backbone


Oh times is hard and the wages low

It’s time for us to roll and go
