Port of Amsterdam

In the port of Amsterdam
There’s a sailor who sings
Of the dreams that he brings
From the wide open sea
In the port of Amsterdam
There’s a sailor who sleeps
While the river bank weeps
To the old willow tree

Why are the houses in Amsterdam so narrow? And relatively high? Those are tax reasons, in former time the residents had to pay taxes on the ground before the house, the smaller the field, the fewer taxes were to pay. 🙂
