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 you don´t look back when we sail
(Last boat leaving, last boat leaving)

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
´Cause no matter how long we sail we´ll never reach the shore

Last boat leaving

Don´t waste 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
(Last boat leaving, last boat leaving)

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

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?
