Santy Anno lyrics

O! Santy Anna gained the day
Away Santy Anno!
And Santy Anna gained the day
All on the plains of Mexico!
 
CHORUS
Mexico, Mexico,
Away Santianno!
Mexico is a place I know!
All on the plains of Mexico!
 
Them Liverpool girls don’t use no combs
They combs their hair with a kipper backbone
Them yaller girls I do adore
With their shinin’ eyes and their cold black hair
Why do them yaller girls love me so
Because I don’t tell them all I know
When I was a young man in me prime
I knocked them scouse girls two at a time
Skipper likes whiskey, the maid likes run
the crew likes both, but we can’t have none
Times is hard and the wages low
It’s time for us to roll and go

Obvious errors in your English version:
"coal black hair" NOT "cold black hair."
Scouse should be capitalized
"the mate likes rum" NOT "the maid likes run"

Please correct these, thank you.
