Lyrics (partial, as performed by Elliott)
…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
when we sail
