THE PLAINS OF MEXICO Sailing down the river from Liverpool Heave away Santiano The wind is high and the holds are full All on the plains of Mexico CHORUS: So it`s heave her up and away we`ll go Heave away Santiano Heave her up and away we`ll go All on the plains of Mexico Santiano had a wooden leg Heave away Santiano He used it for a cribbage peg All on the plains of Mexico CHORUS There`s plenty of birds, so I`ve been told Heave away Santiano Ready to take a seaman`s gold All on the plains of Mexico CHORUS Oh, the work is damn hard and the wage is low Heave away Santiano It`s time for us to row and go All on the plains of Mexico CHORUS
