From: Helen

Hi all,

Someone asked me to track down a song he knew when he was young - all we know is the chorus:

Let us go to the valley by the ocean where the walls rise above the (China?) sea Oh my boy I used to be a young man and your Margaret remembers that for me

Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Helen

Let us go to the banks of the ocean

Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee.

Long ago I used to be a young man

And dear Margaret remembers that for me.

It's written by Michael Smith and its called "The Dutchman" The full lyrics are in the database.
