Lyrics Port of Amsterdam (The Sunday Show - Recorded 5.2.70) [2000 Remastered Version] - David Bowie & The Tony Visconti Trio
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
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
And
he'll
show
you
his
teeth
That
have
rotted
too
soon
That
can
haul
up
the
sails
That
can
swallow
the
moon
And
he
yells
to
the
cook
With
his
arms
open
wide
"Hey,
bring
me
more
fish
Throw
it
down
by
my
side"
And
he
wants
so
to
belch
But
he's
too
full
to
try
So
he
stands
up
and
laughs
And
he
zips
up
his
fly
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
croaked
Splitting
the
night
With
the
roar
of
their
jokes
And
they
turn
and
they
dance
And
they
laugh
and
they
lust
Till
the
rancid
sound
of
the
accordion
bursts
And
then
out
of
the
night
With
their
pride
in
their
pants
And
the
sluts
that
they
tow
Underneath
the
street
lamps
In
the
port
of
Amsterdam
There's
a
sailor
who
drinks
And
he
drinks
and
he
drinks
And
he
drinks
once
again
He'll
drink
to
the
health
Of
the
whores
of
Amsterdam
Who've
given
their
bodies
To
a
thousand
other
men
Yeah,
they've
bargained
their
virtue
Their
goodness
all
gone
For
a
few
dirty
coins
Well
he
just
can't
go
on
Throws
his
nose
to
the
sky
And
he
aims
it
up
above
And
he
pisses
like
I
cry
On
the
unfaithful
love
In
the
port
of
Amsterdam
In
the
port
of
Amsterdam
