Over deze songtekst:
Pieta is een havenstad in Malta.
Een 'daighsoe' is een kleine boot, vroeger een roeiboot, die mensen en goederen van de havenkant naar het grotere schip bracht. Het grotere schip kon niet aanmeren. De daighsoe behoort tot de categorie gondels.
I went down to Sammy's Bar Hey, the last boat's a-leaving By the shore at Pieta Haul away the daighsoe And my real love, she was there Hey, the last boat's a-leaving There was sand all in her hair Haul away the daighsoe How did sand get in your hair Hey, the last boat's a-leaving Darling Johnny put it there Haul away the daighsoe Been with Johnny all the day Hey, the last boat's a-leaving Down at Ghajn Tuffheija Bay Haul away the daighsoe He's a better man by far Hey, the last boat's a-leaving Because he's got a Yankee car Haul away the daighsoe I went out from Sammy's Bar Hey, the last boat's a-leaving Had to hire a Yankee car Haul away the daighsoe Fourteen days I drank no wine Hey, the last boat's a-leaving Saving for that love of mine Haul away the daighsoe Then one day in Paula square Hey, the last boat's a-leaving At a paper I did stare Haul away the daighsoe Johnny tried a hairpin bend Hey, the last boat's a-leaving For my love, it was the end Haul away the daighsoe Going back to Sammy's Bar Hey, the last boat's a-leaving I don't need no Yankee car Haul away the daighsoe
