Tis shveet to valk in Holland townsA
Apout de twilicht tideB
Vhen all ish shdill on proad canalsC
Safe vhere a poat may clideB
Shdrange light on darkenin vater fallsD
In long soft lines afarE
Der abenddroth on dunkelheitB
Vitch shows or hides a starE
-
De pridges risen all aroundtB
So quaindly left und rightB
Pedween each pridge und shattow liesF
A lemon of yellow lightB
Und das volk a goin oberG
So darklin onwarts passH
Dey look like Chinese shattows shownI
Apofe a lookin glassH
-
All shdiller grows und shdillerG
Sogar die efenin preezeH
Ish only heardt far ober hetB
In dese long lines of dreesH
A real oldt Holland feelinI
Cooms gadderin ober allJ
You'd nefer dink a sturm hat peenI
Oopon dis Grand CanawlJ
-
De nople houses how dey'd mofeK
An old New Yorker's heartB
Time vas 'twix dese und dose at homeL
You couldn't tell 'em partB
Mit crate brass knockers on de toorsH
Und parlors town so lowJ
You see de crates a glowin priteB
O'er carbets ash you goJ
-
Dere's comfort full of avery dingsH
You veel it ash you lookM
You knows de volks ish opulendB
Und keep a bully cookM
Und oopon de high camineI
Or here und dere on shelfK
Dere's Japanesisch dings in rowsH
Pe mingled oop mit delfK
-
Dere's noding in dis Holland lifeK
Vitch seems of present dayB
De fery shildren in de shdreedsH
Look quaintlich as dey blayB
De liddle rosy housemaidsH
In bicdures vell I knowI
De dames und heers hafe all an airG
Of sixdy years agoI
-
They may dalk of anciendt hishdoryG
Und for romantisch seekN
De ding dat mofes most teeply ishO
Old vashioned not antiqueN
O if you live in Leyden townI
You'll meet if troot' pe toldB
De forms of all de freunds who tiedB
Vhen du werst six years oldB
