《The Dutchman》歌词

[00:00:00] The Dutchman - Tommy Makem & Liam Clancy

[00:00:07] The Dutchman's not the kind of man

[00:00:10] To keeps his thumb jammed in the dam

[00:00:14] That holds his dreams in

[00:00:21] But that's a secret only Margaret knows

[00:00:28] When Amsterdam is golden in the morning

[00:00:32] Margaret brings him breakfast she believes him

[00:00:42] He thinks the tulips bloom beneath the snows

[00:00:48] He's mad as he can be

[00:00:50] But Margaret only sees that sometimes

[00:00:55] Sometimes she sees

[00:00:56] Her unborn children in his eyes

[00:01:03] Let us go to the banks of the ocean

[00:01:10] Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee

[00:01:17] Long ago I used to be a young man

[00:01:24] And dear Margaret remembers that for me

[00:01:35] The Dutchman still wears wooden shoes

[00:01:39] His cap and coat are patched with the love

[00:01:42] That Margaret sewed him

[00:01:50] Sometimes he thinks he's still in Rotterdam

[00:01:57] He watches tug-boats down canals

[00:02:00] And calls out to them

[00:02:02] When he thinks he knows the captain

[00:02:11] Till Margaret comes to take him home again

[00:02:16] Through the unforgiving streets that trip him

[00:02:20] Though she holds his arm

[00:02:24] Sometimes he thinks he's alone calls her name

[00:02:32] Let us go to the banks of the ocean

[00:02:39] Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee

[00:02:46] Long ago I used to be a young man

[00:02:53] And dear Margaret remembers that for me

[00:03:08] Windmills whirl the winter inwind

[00:03:11] She winds his muffler tighter they sit in the kitchen

[00:03:22] And tea with whiskey keeps away the dew

[00:03:29] He sees her for a moment calls her name

[00:03:33] She makes his bed up coming some old love song

[00:03:43] She learned it when the tune was very new

[00:03:49] He hums a line or two

[00:03:52] They hum together in the night

[00:03:56] The Dutchman falls asleep

[00:03:59] And Margaret blows the candle out

[00:04:06] Let us go to the banks of the ocean

[00:04:13] Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee

[00:04:20] Long ago I used to be a young man

[00:04:27] And dear Margaret remembers that for me

[00:04:34] Let us go to the banks of the ocean

[00:04:41] Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee

[00:04:47] Long ago I used to be a young man

[00:04:54] And dear Margaret remembers that for me
