Comes the dawn
They take me away
And I die the last day of May
(Oh, what I wouldn't do)
Just to be free
On the stairs
I'll hear my Ma cry
Her own son is going to die
(Oh, what I wouldn't do)
Just to be free
I-yi-yi-yi-yi
Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi
Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi
Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi
Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi
Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi
Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi
Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi
Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi
Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi...
