| Lyrics: | Hush my little one don't cry so
You know your daddy's bound to go
They took his pride
They took his voice
Don't upset him now, don't make a noise
They said "You're lucky
son you've still got a choice"
Last boat leaving
Don't waste your tears
It's not as
if I'm in chains
I don't want to go now, it would be better for
you, too, if I don't look
back when we sail
Hush my dear, while I whisper it in your ear
We're not going to
sail tonight
We're going to disappear
And it feels like a punishment, but I don't know
what for
Take care of your mother, son, it's you that she adores
'Cos no matter how long
we sail we'll never reach the shore
Last boat leaving
So dry your tears
It's not
as if I'm in chains
When you go to school, son, you'll read my
story in history books
Only they won't mention my name
So hush now, my darling, my sweet little one
I
hope that you never have to do what I've done
Do you know what I've done?
Why I'm going
away? On the last boat leaving
this stinking town
It's the last boat leaving, it's the
last boat leaving
You've had my innocence, you've had my heartbreak
You've taken the
place where I once belonged
Now what more can you take? |
