Maid of Amsterdam Lyrics

In Amsterdam there lives a maid
Mark well what I do say
In Amsterdam there lives 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 ru-i-in
I"ll go no more a rovin"
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 rovin" with you fair maid

A rovin", a rovin"
Since rovin"s been my ru-i-in
I"ll go no more a rovin"
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, dit is mijn vrouw!'**
I"ll go no more a rovin" with you fair maid
[**'This is my wife!]

A rovin", a rovin"
Since rovin"s been my ru-i-in
I"ll go no more a rovin"
With you fair maid
Then take fair warning, boys from me
Mark well what I do say
So take a warning, boys from me
With other men"s wives don"t make too free
I"ll go no more a rovin" with you fair maid

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