We were sailing down the river from Liverpool Ref: Heave away, Santy Ano! Them sail were set and the hatches full Ref: All across the plains of Mexico! Oh, in Mexico I long to be With a tight waisted girl all on each knee Oh, them Spanish girls I do adore They'll drinks you blind, then axe for more And I love that girl with the long black hair She'll drinks you blind, and skin youse bare Oh, in Mexico in the lowlands low Where there ain't no snow and the whalefishes blow Oh, when I was young and in my prime I'd chase them girls, oh two at the time But now I'm old and my hair is grey Them sweet little girls turn the other way!
