1
In the port of Amsterdam, there's a sailor who sings
2
Of the dreams that he brings from the wide open sea
3
In the port of Amsterdam, there's a sailor who sleeps
4
While the river-bank weeps to the old willow tree
5
In the port of Amsterdam, there's a sailor who dies
6
Full of beer, full of cries, in a drunken down fight
7
But in the port of Amsterdam, there's a sailor who's born
8
On a muggy hot morn, by the dawn's early light
9
In the port of Amsterdam, where the sailors all meet
10
There's a sailor who eats only fish-heads and -tails
11
And he'll show you his teeth that have rotted too soon
12
That can drink down the moon, that can haul up the sails
13
And he turns to the cook, with his arms open wide
14
"Bring me more fish, put it down by my side"
15
And he wants so to belch, but he's too full to try
16
So he gets up and he laughs, and he zips up his fly
17
In the port of Amsterdam, you can see sailors dance
18
Paunches bursting their pants, grinding women to paunch
19
They've forgotten the tune that their whiskey-voice croaks
20
Splitting the night with the roar of their jokes
21
And they turn and they dance and they laugh and they lust
22
Til the rancid sound of the accordion bursts
23
And it's into the night with their pride in their pants
24
And the slut that they tow underneath the streetlamps
25
In the port of Amsterdam there's a sailor who drinks
26
And he drinks, and he drinks, and he drinks once again
27
He drinks to the health of the whores of Amsterdam
28
Who have promised their love to a thousand other men
29
They have bargained their bodies, their virtues all gone
30
For a few dirty coins, and when he can't go on
31
He puts his nose in the air, and he wipes it up above
32
And he pisses like I cry for an unfaithful love
33
In the port of Amsterdam, in the port of Amsterdam
34
In the port of Amsterdam
