The song is listed as number 207 in the Roud Folk Song Index. The theme of the shantey, which dates from at least the 1850s, may have been inspired by topical events in the news related to conflicts between the armies of Mexico, commanded by Antonio L\u00f3pez de Santa Anna, and the U.S., commanded by Zachary Taylor, in the Mexican\u2013American War.<\/p>\n<p>The lyrics are not historically accurate: for example, both the Battle of Monterrey and the Battle of Molino del Rey (different versions refer to one or other) were US victories, not Mexican ones. Some suggest that this tradition was caused by British sailors, who deserted their ships to join Santa Anna&#8217;s forces.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyrics-header\">Lyrics:<br \/>\nAWEIGH SANTI ANNO &#8211; A CAPPELLA<\/p>\n<p>MEXICO OH MEXICO AWEIGH SANTI ANNO<br \/>\nMEXICO IS A PLACE I KNOW<br \/>\nALONG THE PLAINS OF MEXICO<\/p>\n<p>THEM NASSUA GIRLS THEY\u2019VE GO NO COMB<br \/>\nTHEY COMBS THEIR HAIR WITH A TIPPER BACK BONE<\/p>\n<p>MEXICO OH MEXICO AWEIGH SANTI ANNO<br \/>\nMEXICO IS A PLACE I KNOW<br \/>\nALONG THE PLAINS OF MEXICO<\/p>\n<p>THEM CALIFORNIA GALS I DO ADORE<br \/>\nWITH THEIR BRIGHT BLUE EYES<br \/>\nAND THEIR GOLDEN HAIR<\/p>\n<p>MEXICO OH MEXICO AWEIGH SANTI ANNO<br \/>\nMEXICO IS A PLACE I KNOW<br \/>\nALONG THE PLAINS OF MEXICO<\/p>\n<p>THEM CALIFORNIA GALS THEY LOVE ME SO<br \/>\nBECAUSE I DON\u2019T TELL \u2018EM ALL I KNOW<\/p>\n<p>MEXICO OH MEXICO AWEIGH SANTI ANNO<br \/>\nMEXICO IS A PLACE I KNOW<br \/>\nALONG THE PLAINS OF MEXICO<\/p>\n<p>WHEN I WAS YOUNG AND IN MY PRIME<br \/>\nI\u2019D GO OUT WITH THEM PRETTY GIRLS<br \/>\nTWO AT A TIME<\/p>\n<p>MEXICO OH MEXICO AWEIGH SANTI ANNO<br \/>\nMEXICO IS A PLACE I KNOW<br \/>\nALONG THE PLAINS OF MEXICO<\/p>\n<p>THE SKIPPER LIKES WHISKEY AND THE MATE LIKES RUM<br \/>\nTHE CREW LIKES BOTH BUT WE CAN&#8217;T GET NONE<\/p>\n<p>MEXICO OH MEXICO AWEIGH SANTI ANNO<br \/>\nMEXICO IS A PLACE I KNOW<\/p>\n<p>ALONG THE PLAINS OF MEXICO<br \/>\nTHE WORK IS HARD AND THE WAGE IS LOW<br \/>\nSO WIND HER UP AND WE&#8217;LL ROLL AND GO<\/p>\n<p>MEXICO OH MEXICO AWEIGH SANTI ANNO<br \/>\nMEXICO IS A PLACE I KNOW<br \/>\nALONG THE PLAINS OF MEXICO<\/p>\n<p>THE WIND IS HIGH AND BLOWING FREE<br \/>\nLET&#8217;S GET THE RAGS UP AND WE&#8217;LL DRIVE HER TO SEA<\/p>\n<p>MEXICO OH MEXICO AWEIGH SANTI ANNO<br \/>\nMEXICO IS A PLACE I KNOW<br \/>\nALONG THE PLAINS OF MEXICO<\/p>\n<p>MEXICO OH MEXICO AWEIGH SANTI ANNO<br \/>\nMEXICO IS A PLACE I KNOW<br \/>\nALONG THE PLAINS OF MEXICO<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do I download this Mp3?
