Plains of Mexico
[Verse]
Santiano gained the day
Always Santiamo
He gained the day at the mountain range
Along the plains of Mexico
Santiamo fought for fame
Always Santiamo
And Santiamo gained a name
Along the plains of Mexico

We dug his grave with a silver spade
Always Santiano
And marked the spot where he was laid
Along the plains of Mexico
Lowered him down with a golden chain
Always Santiamo
And every night we cried his name
Along the plains of Mexico

Sacramento's the place for me
Always Santiamo
Half a year we'll be at sea
Along the plains of Mexico
Our masts they split and sails were torn
Always Santiamo
And down we plunged around Cape Horn
Along the plains of Mexico
Always Santiano
Along the plains of Mexico

Always Santiano
Along the plains of Mexico


Santiano gained the day
(always santiano)
And General Taylor ran away
Along the plains of Mexico
