[00:09.66]In the port of Amsterdam there's a sailor who sings
[00:17.10]Of the dreams that he brings from the wide open sea
[00:25.14]In the port of Amsterdam there's a sailor who sleeps
[00:32.25]While the riverbank weeps with the old willow tree
[00:40.17]In the port of Amsterdam there's a sailor who dies
[00:46.29]Full of beer, full of cries in a drunken down fight
[00:55.80]And in the port of Amsterdam there's a sailor who's born
[01:02.67]On a muggy hot morn by the dawn's early light
[01:10.50]In the port of Amsterdam where the sailors all meet
[01:15.24]There's a sailor who eats only fishheads and tails
[01:19.56]He will show you his teeth that have rotted too soon
[01:23.91]That can swallow the moon, that can haul up the sails
[01:28.29]And he yells to the cook with his arms open wide
[01:32.94]Bring me more fish put it down by my side
[01:36.93]Then he wants so to belch but he's too full to try
[01:41.04]So he gets up and laughs and he zips up his fly
[01:45.39]In the port of Amsterdam you can see sailors dance
[01:49.32]Paunches bursting their pants grinding women to paunch
[01:52.44]They've forgotten the tune that their whiskey voice croaks
[01:57.57]Splitting the night with the roar of their jokes
[02:01.08]And they turn and they dance and they laugh and they lust
[02:04.92]Till the rancid sound of the accordion bursts
[02:09.00]Then out to the night with their pride in their pants
[02:12.45]With the slut that they tow underneath the street lamps
[02:16.14]In the port of Amsterdam there's a sailor who drinks
[02:19.92]And he drinks and he drinks and he drinks once again
[02:23.55]He drinks to the health of the whores of Amsterdam
[02:27.18]Who have promised their love to a thousand other men
[02:31.17]They've bargained their bodies and their virtue long gone
[02:34.41]For a few dirty coins, and when he can't go on
[02:38.01]He plants his nose in the sky and he wipes it up above
[02:41.91]And he pisses like I cry for an unfaithful love
[02:45.66]In the port of Amsterdam
[02:47.55]In the port of Amsterdam
