The Fureys The Red Rose Café song lyrics

They come from the farms and the factories too

And they all soon forget who they are

The cares of today are soon washed away

As they sit at a stool by the bar

The girl with green eyes in the Rolling Stones shirt

Doesn't look like she works on the land

The man at the end, he's a very good friend

Of a man who sells cars second hand

Down at the Red Rose Cafe in the Harbor

There by the port just outside Amsterdam

Everyone shares in the songs and the laughter

Everyone there is so happy to be there

The salesmen relax with a few pints of beer

As they try not to speak about trade

The poet won't write any verses tonight

He may sing a sweet serenade

So pull up a chair and forget about life

It's a good thing to do now and then

And if you like it here I have an idea

Tomorrow let's all meet again

Down at the Red Rose Cafe in the Harbor

There by the port just outside Amsterdam

Everyone shares in the songs and the laughter

Everyone there is so happy to be there

The salesmen relax with a few pints of beer

As they try not to speak about trade

The poet won't write any verses tonight

He may sing a sweet serenade

So pull up a chair and forget about life

It's a good thing to do now and then

And if you like it here I have an idea

Tomorrow let's all meet again
