Recorded by George Morgan - 1959
Lyrics and music by Mel Tillis and Wayne P. Walker
[E]Far across the sea in the land of the [A]windmill
I [E]met a girl, her eyes were sparkling [B7]blue
Her [E]hair was the color of the northern [A]sunset
And u[E]pon her feet, she s[B7]ported wooden [E]shoes
Chorus:
We [A]walked through the fields of [E]red and yellow tulips
T[B7]hen I kissed her sweet lips - it [A]set my heart a-[E]whirl
But the [A]time came for leavin', now [E]my poor heart is grievin'
'[B7]Cause it holds a memory of a [A]Little Dutch [E]Girl
Instrumental (Verse)
Repeat verse and chorus
