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

There was sand all in her hair



How did sand get in your hair

Darling Johnny put it there



Been with Johnny all the day

Down at Ghajn Tuffheija Bay



He's a better man by far

Because he's got a Yankee car

I went out from Sammy's Bar

Had to hire a Yankee car



Fourteen days I drank no wine

Saving for that love of mine



Then one day in Paula square

At a paper I did stare



Johnny tried a hairpin bend

For my love, it was the end



Going back to Sammy's Bar

I don't need no Yankee car
