The Dutchman  Liam Clancy






 


 Subject: c/liam_clancy/the_dutchman.num


 


 THE DUTCHMAN Time: 4/4 Tenor: D Bass: C


 


 The [1]Dutchman not the [16]kind of man, to [1maj7]keep his thumb jammed [16]in the dam


 


 2m7 *


 That holds his dreams in


 


 [5]. But that's the secret only [1]Marg'ret knows[16]


 


 When [1]Amsterdam is [16]golden in the [1maj7]morning when Margaret [16]brings his breakfast


 


 2m7 *


 She believes him


 


 [5]. He thinks that tulips bloom be-[1]neath the snow


 


 He's mad as [4]he can be, but Marg'ret only [3m]sees that sometimes[6m]


 


 Sometimes she [2m]sees her unborn [5]children in his [1]eyes


 


 CHORUS:


 


 Let [2m]us go to the banks of the [3m]ocean


 


 Where the [4]walls rise a-[5]bove the Zuider [3m]Zee[6m]


 


 Long a-[2m]go I [5]used to be a [3m]young man[6m]


 


 And dear [2m]Marg'ret re-[5]members that for [4]me__[5]___

 NOTES:


 - The metre is irregular, almost spoken at times


 


 THE DUTCHMAN (page 2)


 


 The [1]Dutchman still wears [16]wooden shoes


 


 His cap and coat are patched with love that Margeret sewed in


 


 Sometimes he thinks he's still in Rotterdam


 


 He watches tugboats down canals


 


 Calls out to them when he thinks he knows the captain


 


 Till Margaret comes to take him home again


 


 Through unforgiving streets that trip him though she holds his arm


 


 Sometimes he thinks he's alone and calls her name


 


 The windmill whirls the winter wind, she winds his muffler tighter


 


 They sit in the kitchen, and tea with whiskey keeps away the dew


 


 He see's her for a moment


 


 Calls her name, she makes his bed up


 


 Humming some old love song


 


 She learned it when the tune was very new


 


 She hums a line or two, they hum together in the night


 


 The Dutchman falls asleep and Margaret blows the candle out
