1
In the port of Amsterdam
2
There's a sailor who sings
3
Of the dreams that he brings
4
From the wide open sea
5
In the port of Amsterdam
6
There's a sailor who sleeps
7
While the river bank weeps
8
To the old willow tree
9
In the port of Amsterdam
10
There's a sailor who dies
11
Full of beer, full of cries
12
In a drunken town fight
13
In the port of Amsterdam
14
There's a sailor who's born
15
On a hot muggy morn
16
By the dawn's early light
17
In the port of Amsterdam
18
Where the sailors all meet
19
There's a sailor who eats
20
Only fish heads and tails
21
And he'll show you his teeth
22
That have rotted too soon
23
That can haul up the sails
24
That can swallow the moon
25
And he yells to the cook
26
With his arms open wide
27
"Hey, bring me more fish
28
Throw it down by my side"
29
And he wants so to belch
30
But he's too full to try
31
So he stands up and laughs
32
And he zips up his fly
33
In the port of Amsterdam
34
You can see sailors dance
35
Paunches bursting their pants
36
Grinding women to porch
37
They've forgotten the tune
38
That their whiskey voice croaked
39
Splitting the night
40
With the roar of their jokes
41
And they turn and they dance
42
And they laugh and they lust
43
Till the rancid sound of the accordion bursts
44
And then out of the night
45
With their pride in their pants
46
And the sluts that they tow
47
Underneath the street lamps
48
In the port of Amsterdam
49
There's a sailor who drinks
50
And he drinks and he drinks
51
And he drinks once again
52
He'll drink to the health
53
Of the whores of Amsterdam
54
Who've given their bodies
55
To a thousand other men
56
Yeah, they've bargained their virtue
57
Their goodness all gone
58
For a few dirty coins
59
Well he just can't go on
60
Throws his nose to the sky
61
And he aims it up above
62
And he pisses like I cry
63
On the unfaithful love
64
In the port of Amsterdam
65
In the port of Amsterdam
