Amsterdam old Amsterdam how I love you Amsterdam

When I get there I'm gonna kiss the ground let 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 pearles down in Arkansas

Even learned how to say you all but I still miss Amsterdam

Amsterdam old Amsterdam...

[ piano - dobro ]

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...

Amsterdam old Amsterdam...
