Wasted and worn, tattered and torn
From the land I love best, On a ship sailing west
Around me they cried, she leaned and sighed
Farewell, it's the last of England
Thousands are sailing, far from this shore
To promise of freedom, hope for the poor
Around me they cried, she leaned and sighed
Farewell it's the last of England
Thoughts of the past flooded my mind
Tears filled our eyes, no words could we find
As we set sail into the gale
Farewell it's the last of England
Those who're mistreated, put down, abused
By monied and landed, all help refused
They've made their choice to cry with one voice
Farewell it's the last of England
We gave our all, answered the call
Of’times cast down with our backs to the wall
No more we'll stand on your struggling strand
Farewell it's the last of England
From the land I love best, On a ship sailing west
Around me they cried, she leaned and sighed
Farewell, it's the last of England
Thousands are sailing, far from this shore
To promise of freedom, hope for the poor
Around me they cried, she leaned and sighed
Farewell it's the last of England
Thoughts of the past flooded my mind
Tears filled our eyes, no words could we find
As we set sail into the gale
Farewell it's the last of England
Those who're mistreated, put down, abused
By monied and landed, all help refused
They've made their choice to cry with one voice
Farewell it's the last of England
We gave our all, answered the call
Of’times cast down with our backs to the wall
No more we'll stand on your struggling strand
Farewell it's the last of England
