Artist: Jacques Brel
Author: Jacques Brel

Exists only in live versions (Olympia '64 and '66). The latter was filmed. The port he was really singing about is the port of Antwerp, but neither Anvers nor Antwerpen fitted the lyric lines.
Covers:
Dave Van Ronk [as Port Of Amsterdam]
Frans Halsema [as Vrouwencafé]
Frank Christian [as Port Of Amsterdam]
Marianne Faithfull [as Port Of Amsterdam]
Rufus Wainwright [with the Amsterdam Sinfonietta live]
Melody vaguely based on Greensleeves.
