The Plains of Mexico Songtext
von Kacy & Clayton

Santiano gained the day
Always Santiano
He gained the day at the mountain range
Along the plains of Mexico
Santiano fought for fame
Always Santiano
And Santiano 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 Santiano
And every link we cried his name
Along the plains of Mexico

Sacramento′s the place for me
Always Santiano
Half a year we'll be at sea
Along the plains of Mexico
Our masts they split and sails were torn
Always Santiano
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
