Santy Anna 
Santy Anna 
O Santy Anna gained the day Hoo-ray, Santy Anna! 
He lost it once but gained it twice All on the plains of Mexico! 
O Santy Anna fought for fame And that's where Santy gained his name. 
O Santy Anna fought for gold And the deeds he done have oft been told. 
And Santy Anna fought for his life But he gained his way in a terrible strife. 
O Santy Anna's day is o'er And Santy Anna will fight no more. 
I thought I heard the old man say He'd give us grog this very day. 
From Colcord-Songs of American Sailormen. Recorded by Lloyd and MacColl. Reportedly, the last whaler to return to New Bedford hauled into dock to this shanty.
