Lyrics

[Verse 1]
F#m
   Oh! Santiana gained a day
          E
Away Santiana!
"Napoleon of the West", they say
 F#m      C#m       F#m
Along the plains of Mexico

[Chorus]
     F#m
Well,   heave 'er up and away we'll go
          E
Away Santiana!
Heave 'er up and away we'll go
 F#m      C#m       F#m
Along the plains of Mexico

[Verse 2]
        F#m
She's a fast clipper ship and a bully good crew
          E
Away Santiana!
And an old salty yank for a captain too
 F#m      C#m       F#m
Along the plains of Mexico

[Chorus]
     F#m
Well,   heave 'er up and away we'll go
          E
Away Santiana!
Heave 'er up and away we'll go
 F#m      C#m       F#m
Along the plains of Mexico

[Verse 3]
F#m
Santiana fought for gold
          E
Away Santiana!
Around Cape Horn through the ice and snow
 F#m      C#m       F#m
Along the plains of Mexico

[Chorus]
     F#m
Well,   heave 'er up and away we'll go
          E
Away Santiana!
Heave 'er up and away we'll go
 F#m      C#m       F#m
Along the plains of Mexico

[Verse 4]
       F#m
'T'was on the field of MollyDelRay
          E
Away Santiana!
Well both his legs got blown away
 F#m      C#m       F#m
Along the plains of Mexico

[Chorus]
     F#m
Well,   heave 'er up and away we'll go
          E
Away Santiana!
Heave 'er up and away we'll go
 F#m      C#m       F#m
Along the plains of Mexico

[Verse 5]
   F#m
It was a fierce and bitter strife
          E
Away Santiana!
The general Taylor took his life
 F#m      C#m       F#m
Along the plains of Mexico

[Chorus]
     F#m
Well,   heave 'er up and away we'll go
          E
Away Santiana!
Heave 'er up and away we'll go
 F#m      C#m       F#m
Along the plains of Mexico

[Outro]
F#m
Santiana, now we mourn
          E
Away Santiana!
We left him buried off Cape Horn
 F#m      C#m       F#m
Along the plains of Mexico
