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
