Lyrics:

When I was but sixteen years
Mom and Dad they brought me here
From seven to five in the factory
The days they drag on for me

I don’t think I’ll stay here long
My english you know ain’t that strong
As soon as I’ve learned enough
I’m gonna try to move on up

We came here for a better life
You know I don’t mind the work
One thing here I miss the most
The lovely girls of Ridderkerk

The girls out here all walk the streets
Like a peacock in full majesty
Best not stop to say hello
Pay a fine, or off to jail you’ll go

If you think you are so inclined
To speak to one that’s so refined
Remember those Holland girls
They’re the prettiest girls in the world

We came here for a better life
You know I don’t mind the work
One thing here I miss the most
The lovely girls of Ridderkerk
