Last Boat Leaving |
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 |
Because 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? |
