Santiago Flynn 1908

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 02 Sep 2005

Way down by the Rio Grande
there lived Santiago Flynn,
he dressed like a Spanish grandee,
he rode on a pony thin.
Near by on her own plantation
there lingered an Irish Rose.
Love songs of the dreamy nation
he'd sing to her thro' his nose
and she would sigh
wink her eye
giving him this reply:

Santiago, you're a Dago
with a wicked smile,
Faith, I like your style
but, Macaroni, ride your pony,
Spanish tunes and Spanish moons
are making me grow thin,
change your blarney, play Killarney
Santiago Flynn.

She cried: "You're a hot tamale,
I can't love a Mexican,
nobody can win this Molly
no one but an Irish man."
He jumped in a wild fandango
he cried with an Irish grin
"Tho' born underneath the Mango
my father was Paddy Flynn."
She cried: "Come in, Mister Flynn,
I'll never say agin."

Santiago, you're a Dago
with a wicked smile,
Faith, I like your style
but, Macaroni, ride your pony,
Spanish tunes and Spanish moons
are making me grow thin,
change your blarney, play Killarney
Santiago Flynn.
