It’s a farewell to Jenny I take the last chance now to Break up for good this old, sad romance How poignant is the foggy road to the harbour As she looks back from the prison door Her eyes suffused with tears Coz of the crime what she’s done But to take the pain She has plenty of spun It’s all I can think of as my ship sails away From the port of Amsterdam Oooh…Jenny’s cryin’
Poor Jenny’s mind Has gone insane from the burden of life As she raised a diseased babe She killed our child to take his pain And I wasn’t there To save her soul, she doesn’t care at all This is how she falls
It’s a farewell to Jenny I take the last chance now to Break up for good this old, sad romance How poignant is the foggy road to the harbour As she looks back from the prison door As walking the streets She glimmered with red light She was too desperate She couldn’t win this fight As a victim of life She couldn’t find her way In the port of Amsterdam
