Dutchman Lyrics - Chuck Berry

A Bunch of guys was in this bar room 

Most of them had been there half the day 

They'd been telling jokes and fairy tales 

Lying just to pass the time away 

Then suddenly someone cracked the bar room door 

And then pushed it open wide 

And this huge tall dark dude 

Bowed his head and stepped inside 

I wonder where he's from? 

Some blonde asked. 

The wind must have blown him in 

But an old Dutchman offered him a drink. 

What will it be, whisky rum or gin? 

Sick and fido" a redhead shouted 

Show his way back to the street." 

But the Great Dane just walked over and licked his hand 

And lay down at his feet

He said, "if you spare me that drink Dutchman, 

I promise I tell you how 

That I came to be the helpless sight that stands before you now" 

I used to be an artist, not one who sits and fiddle on the kerb 

But in my day and time 

My music was considered superb 

I wrote a song about a poor kid 

Raised down in New Orleans 

It didn't make the hall of fame, 

But it bought us shrimp, rice and beans 

He kept at it until he made the big time, 

Playing town after town 

Until he met a woman he fell in love with 

And it really turned his life around 

She had eyes like Cleopatra 

And a head of luxurious hair, 

With the brilliance of her beauty 

None other could compare 

Photos 

When she lifted her eyes to his, 

Her lips would fall apart 

Each time she allowed him kiss her, 

It near petrified his heart 

But when he ask her would she marry him, 

He'd give her everything he had! 

She turned and walked away 

And it nearly drove him mad 

He promised her a half a million 

And would even pay in advance, 

If she would let him prove himself 

Or at least give him a chance 

And if he should go blind and hand to use his hands to feel, 

He would hire someone to do her work 

And prepare her every meal 

How could a man love a woman so much? 

Not one of you would think! 

Well, I did and I still do 

Hey Dutchman, you promised me a drink!
