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 |
While the river-bank weeps to the old willow tree |
In the port of Amsterdam, there’s a sailor who dies |
Full of beer, full of cries, in a drunken down fight |
But in the port of Amsterdam, there’s a sailor who’s born |
On a muggy hot 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 |
And he’ll show you his teeth that have rotted too soon |
That can drink down the moon, that can haul up the sails |
And he turns to the cook, with his arms open wide |
«Bring me more fish, put it down by my side» |
And he wants so to belch, but he’s too full to try |
So he gets up and he laughs, and he zips up his fly |
In the port of Amsterdam, you can see sailors dance |
Paunches bursting their pants, grinding women to paunch |
They’ve forgotten the tune that their whiskey-voice croaks |
Splitting the night with the roar of their jokes |
And they turn and they dance and they laugh and they lust |
Til the rancid sound of the accordion bursts |
And it’s into the night with their pride in their pants |
And the slut that they tow underneath the streetlamps |
In the port of Amsterdam there’s a sailor who drinks |
And he drinks, and he drinks, and he drinks once again |
He drinks to the health of the whores of Amsterdam |
Who have promised their love to a thousand other men |
They have bargained their bodies, their virtues all gone |
For a few dirty coins, and when he can’t go on |
He puts his nose in the air, and he wipes it up above |
And he pisses like I cry for an unfaithful love |
In the port of Amsterdam, in the port of Amsterdam |
In the port of Amsterdam |
