In the wearing of Amsterdam
Y has sailors who drink
And who drink and reboivent
And which still reboivent
They drink with the health
Of the whores of Amsterdam
Of Hamburg or besides
Enfin they drink with the ladies
Which give them their pretty body
Which gives them their virtue
For a gold coin
And when they drank well
plant the nose with the sky
are mouchent in stars
And they piss as I cry
Over the inaccurate women
In the wearing of Amsterdam
In the wearing of Amsterdam.
