Port of Amsterdam
In the pAmort of Amsterdam there's a sEmailor who sings
Of the dFreams that he brings from the E7wide open sea
In the Amport of Amsterdam there's a sEmailor who sleeps
While the Friver bank wE7eeps to the oAmld willow tree
In the pCort of Amsterdam there's a sG7ailor who dies
Full of E7beer, full of cAmries in a drE7unken town fight
In the pFort of Amsterdam there's a sEmailor who's born
On a hDm7ot muggy mE7orn by the dAmawn's early light
In the pAmort of Amsterdam where the saEmilors all meet
There's a Fsailor who eats only fE7ish heads and tails
And he'll sAmhow you his teeth that have rEmotted too soon
That can hFaul up the sE7ails that can swAmallow the moon
And he yeClls to the cook with his aG7rms open wide
"Hey, bE7ring me more fAmish throw it dE7own by my side"
And he waFnts so to belch but he's tEmoo full to try
So he stDm7ands up and laE7ughs and he ziAmps up his fly
In the pAmort of Amsterdam you can sEmee sailors dance
Paunches bFursting their pants grinding wE7omen to porch
They've forgAmotten the tune that their whEmiskey voice croaked
SpliFtting the nE7ight with the roAmar of their jokes
And they tuCrn and they dance and they laG7ugh and they lust
Till the rE7ancid souAmnd of the accE7ordion bursts
And then oFut of the night with their prEmide in their pants
And the sDm7luts that they tE7ow underneAmath the street lamps
In the pAmort of Amsterdam there's a saEmilor who drinks
And he dFrinks and he drinks and he dE7rinks once again
He'll dAmrink to the health of the wEmhores of Amsterdam
Who've gFiven their bE7odies to a thAmousand other men
Yeah, they've baCrgained their virtue their goG7odness all gone
For a fE7ew dirty coAmins well he jE7ust can't go on
Throws his nFose to the sky and he aEmims it up above
And he pDm7isses like E7I cry on the unAmfaithful love
In the Amport of Amsterdam
In the pEmort of Amsterdam
