Maid of Amsterdam

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!
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!
A roving, a roving,
Since roving's been my ru-i-in,
I'll go no more a roving,
With you fair maid!
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!
A roving, a roving,
Since roving's been my ru-i-in,
I'll go no more a roving,
With you fair maid!
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!
A roving, a roving,
Since roving's been my ru-i-in,
I'll go no more a roving,
With you fair maid!
