SAMMY'S BAR or THE LAST BOAT'S A'LEAVIN
(Cyril Tawney)

I went down to Sammy's Bar
Hey, the last boat's a'leavin
By the shore at Pieta
Haul away the daighsoe

And my real love, she was there
Hey, the last boat's a'leavin
There was sand all in her hair
Haul away the daighsoe

How did sand get in your hair
Hey, the last boat's a'leavin
Darling Johnny put it there
Haul away the daighsoe

He's a better man by far
Hey, the last boat's a'leavin
Because he drives a Yankee car
Haul away the daighsoe

Fourteen days I drank no wine
Hey, the last boat's a'leavin
Saving for that love of mine
Haul away the daighsoe

Then one day in Paula square
Hey, the last boat's a'leavin
At a paper I did stare
Haul away the daighsoe

Johnny tried a hairpin bend
Hey, the last boat's a'leavin
For my love, that was the end
Haul away the daighsoe

Going back to Sammy's Bar
Hey, the last boat's a'leavin
I don't need no Yankee car
Haul away the daighsoe

Daighsoe=watertaxi, Maltese term
