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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sometimes she sees[00:00:55]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That Margaret sewed him[00:01:42]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Dutchman falls asleep[00:03:56]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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