lirik lagu dave van ronk - port of amsterdam

[verse 1]
in the port of amsterdam, there’s a sailor who sings
of the dreams that he brings from the wide~open seas
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 town fight
and in the port of amsterdam, there’s a sailor who’s born
on a hot muggy morn by the dawn’s early light

[verse 2]
in the port of amsterdam, where the sailors all meet
there’s a sailor who eats only fish heads and tails
he will show you his t~~th that havе rotted too soon
that can swallow the moon, that can haul up the sails
and hе yells to the cook with his arms open wide
“bring me more fish, throw them down by my side”
then he wants so to belch but he’s too full to try
so he gets up and laughs and he zips up his fly

[verse 3]
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 croaks
splitting the night with the roar of their jokes
and they turn and they dance and they laugh and they l~st
till the rancid sound of the accordion bursts
then out of the night with their pride in their pants
with the sl~ts that they tow underneath the street lamps
[verse 4]
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 wh0res of amsterdam
who have promised their love to ten thousand men
they’ve bargained their bodies, their virtue long gone
for a few dirty coins when he can’t go on
he points his nose to the sky, while he aims it up above
and he p~sses like a cry for an unfaithful love

[outro]
in the port of amsterdam, the port of amsterdam
in the port of amsterdam, in the port of amsterdam
