This "San Antonio Song" won't go away.  This collage uses the cover of original sheet music by Harry Williams and Egbert VanAlstyne, which was copyrighted in 1907.  Part of the musical score - "San An-to ni An-to-ni-o. She hopped up on a pony and ran away with Tony" - serves as a backdrop for the "gal" who got away, pictured here as a huntress.
