Amsterdam

Amsterdam, old Amsterdam
How I love you, Amsterdam
When I get there I'm gonna kiss the ground
That you stand on, Amsterdam

I left my home and I left my friends
Said I'll be back, but I don't know when
Set my sail to the restless wind
So long, old Amsterdam

I picked plums up in Yakimo
And I picked pears down in Arkansas
Even learned how to say you all
But I still miss Amsterdam

Amsterdam, old Amsterdam
How I love you, Amsterdam
When I get there I'm gonna kiss the ground
That you stand on, Amsterdam

I did my thing in Tokyo
Tried my luck in Kokomo
Searched for Bill in Buffalo
But I still miss Amsterdam

I picked peaches in a Georgia town
And I picked cotton down in Birmingham
At the day I'll get out of Alabam'
I'm goin' back to Amsterdam

Amsterdam, old Amsterdam
How I love you, Amsterdam
When I get there I'm gonna kiss the ground
That you stand on, Amsterdam

Amsterdam, old Amsterdam
How I love you, Amsterdam
When I get there I'm gonna kiss the ground
That you stand on, Amsterdam

Amsterdam, old Amsterdam
How I love you, Amsterdam
When I get there I'm gonna kiss the ground
That you stand on, Amsterdam
