Thread Name: Lyr Req: zuider zee (The Dutchman)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: zuider zee
Having lived in Nederland for a year, I find the song full of old stereotypes of Holland such as windmills and wooden shoes, and mispronounciation - "Zuider Zee" should be pronounced 'Zouder Zay' not 'Zider Zee' (which is now the Ijsselmeer). Yet it's a beautiful song which I love to sing.
