Maid of Amsterdam lyrics

In Amsterdam, there lived a maid

Mark well what I do say

In Amsterdam, there lived a maid

And she was mistress of her trade

I'll go no more a-rovin' with you, fair maid

A-rovin', a-rovin', since rovin's been my ruin-o

I'll go no more a-rovin' with you, fair maid

I took that fair maid for a walk

Mark well what I do say

I took that fair maid for a walk

She said: "Young man, I'd rather talk"

I'll go no more a-rovin' with you, fair maid

A-rovin', a-rovin', since rovin's been my ruin-o

I'll go no more a-rovin' with you, fair maid

I put my hand upon her thigh

Mark well what I do say

I put my hand upon her thigh

She said: "Young man, you're rather high!"

I'll go no more a-rovin' with you, fair maid

A-rovin', a-rovin', since rovin's been my ruin-o

I'll go no more a-rovin' with you, fair maid

Her lovely arms were white as milk

Mark well what I do say

Her lovely arms were white as milk

Her flaxen hair was soft as silk

I'll go no more a-rovin' with you, fair maid

A-rovin', a-rovin', since rovin's been my ruin-o

I'll go no more a-rovin' with you, fair maid

But when I got back home from sea

Mark well what I do say

When I got back home from sea

A soldier had her on his knee

I'll go no more a-rovin' with you, fair maid

A-rovin', a-rovin', since rovin's been my ruin-o

I'll go no more a-rovin' with you, fair maid

A-rovin', a-rovin', since rovin's been my ruin-o

I'll go no more a-rovin' with you, fair maid
