Maid of Amsterdam [French translation]

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-roving with you fair maid!

(Chorus)

A roving, a roving,

Since roving's been my ru-i-in,

I'll go no more a roving,

With you fair maid!

I asked this maid to take a walk,

Mark well what I do say!

I asked this maid out for a walk,

That we might have some private talk.

I'll go no more a roving with you fair maid!

(Chorus)

Then a great big Dutchman rammed my bow,

Mark well what I do say!

For a great big Dutchman rammed my bow,

And said "Young man, dees ees meine frau!"

I'll go no more a roving with you fair maid!

(Chorus)

Then take fair warning boys from me,

Mark well what I do say!

So take fair warning boys from me

With other men's wives, don't make too free

I'll go no more a roving with you fair maid!

(Chorus)
