Amsterdam
Ton : EEnglish
Couplet
In the Amport of Amsterdam
There's a saiEmlor who sings
Of the Fdreams that he brings
From the wide oEpen sea
In the Amport of Amsterdam
There's a saiEmlor who sleeps
While the river Fbank weeps E7
To the old Amwillow tree
In the port Cof Amsterdam
There's a saiG7lor who dies E7
Full of Ambeer, full of cries
In a E7drunken town fight
In the Fport of Amsterdam
There's a saiEmlor who's born
On a hot Dm7muggy morn E7
By the Amdawn's early light
Couplet
In the port of Amsterdam
Where the sailors all meet
There's a sailor who eats
Only fish heads and tails
And he'll show you his teeth
That have rotted too soon
That can haul up the sails
That can swallow the moon
And he yells to the cook
With his arms open wide
"Hey, bring me more fish
Throw it down by my side"
And he wants so to belch
But he's too full to try
So he stands up and laughs
And he zips up his fly
Couplet
In the port of Amsterdam
You can see sailors dance
Paunches bursting their pants
Grinding women to porch
They've forgotten the tune
That their whiskey voice croaked
Splitting the night
With the roar of their jokes
And they turn and they dance
And they laugh and they lust
Till the rancid sound of the accordion bursts
And then out of the night
With their pride in their pants
And the sluts that they tow
Underneath the street lamps
Couplet
In the port of Amsterdam
There's a sailor who drinks
And he drinks and he drinks
And he drinks once again
He'll drink to the health
Of the whores of Amsterdam
Who've given their bodies
To a thousand other men
Yeah, they've bargained their virtue
Their goodness all gone
For a few dirty coins
Well he just can't go on
Throws his nose to the sky
And he aims it up above
And he pisses like I cry
On the unfaithful love
Couplet
