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 Yakima 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
And 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
