Maid of Amsterdam (A-Rovin') (Traditional sea shanty)

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.

Chorus: I'll go no more a roving with you fair maid A-roving, a-roving Since roving's been my rue-I-in I'll go no more a-roving with you fair maid.

I kissed her once, I kissed her twice, Mark well what I do say, I kissed her once, I kissed her twice, She said, "Young sir that's oh so nice." Chorus…

I put my hand upon her knee, Mark well what I do say, I put my hand upon her knee; She said, "Young sir you're fancy free." Chorus…

I put my arms around her waist, Mark well what I do say, I put my arms around her waist; She said, "Young sir you're in great haste!" Chorus…

I put hand upon her thigh, Mark well what I do say, I put hand upon her thigh; She said, "Young sir you're awful high!" Chorus…

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.
