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?
