in the port of Amsterdam...

In the port of Amsterdam
There's a sailor who sings
Of the dreams that he brings
From the wide open sea
In the port of Amsterdam
There's a sailor who sleeps
......................

In the port of Amsterdam
There's a sailor who dies
Full of beer, full of cries
In a drunken town fight
In the port of Amsterdam
There's a sailor who's born
On a hot muggy morn
By the dawn's early light

In the port of Amsterdam
Where the sailors all meet
There's a sailor who eats
Only fish heads and tails
...................


In the port of Amsterdam
You can see sailors dance
...................

In the port of Amsterdam
There's a sailor who drinks
And he drinks and he drinks
And he drinks once again
....................

In the port of Amsterdam
In the port of Amsterdam
