Santiano

Oh, Santiano gained the day
Away Santiano
Oh, Santiano gained the day
All on the plains of Mexico

To Mexico, oh Mexico
To Mexico, where I must go

O! Santiano had a wooden leg
He used it for a cribbage peg

O! Santiano fought for his gold
The deeds he did have oft been told

O! Santiano fought for his life,
He gained his way in the terrible strife.

O! Santiano's men were brave,
Many found a hero's grave.

O! Santiano's day is o'er,
Santiano will fight no more.

O! Santiano's day is gorn,
We left him buried off Cape Horn.

We dug his grave with a golden spade,
And marked the spot where he was laid.
