Amsterdam
4
In the port of Amsterdam
5
There's a sailor who sings
6
Of the dreams that he brings
7
From the wide open sea
8
In the port of Amsterdam
9
There's a sailor who sleeps
10
While the river bank weeps
11
To the old willow tree
12
In the port of Amsterdam
13
There's a sailor who dies
14
Full of beer, full of cries
15
In a drunken town fight
16
In the port of Amsterdam
17
There's a sailor who's born
18
On a hot muggy morn
19
By the dawn's early light
20
In the port of Amsterdam
21
Where the sailors all meet
22
There's a sailor who eats
23
Only fish heads and tails
24
And he'll show you his teeth
25
That have rotted too soon
26
That can haul up the sails
27
That can swallow the moon
28
And he yells to the cook
29
With his arms open wide
30
"Hey, bring me more fish
31
Throw it down by my side"
32
And he wants so to belch
33
But he's too full to try
34
So he stands up and laughs
35
And he zips up his fly
36
In the port of Amsterdam
37
You can see sailors dance
38
Paunches bursting their pants
39
Grinding women to porch
40
They've forgotten the tune
41
That their whiskey voice croaked
42
Splitting the night
43
With the roar of their jokes
44
And they turn and they dance
45
And they laugh and they lust
46
Till the rancid sound of the accordion bursts
47
And then out of the night
48
With their pride in their pants
49
And the sluts that they tow
50
Underneath the street lamps
51
In the port of Amsterdam
52
There's a sailor who drinks
53
And he drinks and he drinks
54
And he drinks once again
55
He'll drink to the health
56
Of the whores of Amsterdam
57
Who've given their bodies
58
To a thousand other men
59
Yeah, they've bargained their virtue
60
Their goodness all gone
61
For a few dirty coins
62
Well he just can't go on
63
Throws his nose to the sky
64
And he aims it up above
65
And he pisses like I cry
66
On the unfaithful love
67
In the port of Amsterdam
68
In the port of Amsterdam
