Lyrics The Maid Of Amsterdam (Paul Clayton) - Paul Clayton

The Maid Of Amsterdam (Paul Clayton)

In Amsterdam there lived a maid,
Mark well what I do say!
In Amsterdam there lived a maid,
Who was always pinchin' the sailor’s trade.
I’ll go no more a roving with you fair maid!
A rovin', a rovin',
Since rovin’s been my ru-i-in,
I’ll go no more a roving,
With you fair maid!
I took this maiden for a walk,
Mark well what I do say!
I took this maiden for a walk,
She wanted some gin and didn’t she talk.
I’ll go no more a roving with you fair maid!
A rovin', a rovin',
Since rovin’s been my ru-i-in,
I’ll go no more a roving,
With you fair maid!
She said, «You sailors I love you so,»
Mark well what I do say!
«All you sailors, I love you so,»
And the reason why I soon did know.
I’ll go no more a roving with you fair maid!
A rovin', a rovin',
Since rovin’s been my ru-i-in,
I’ll go no more a roving,
With you fair maid!
She placed her hand upon my knee,
Mark well what I do say!
She placed her hand upon my knee,
I said «Young miss, you’re rather free.»
I’ll go no more a roving with you fair maid!
A rovin', a rovin',
Since rovin’s been my ru-i-in,
I’ll go no more a roving,
With you fair maid!
I gave this miss a parting kiss,
Mark well what I do say!
I gave this miss a parting kiss,
When I got aboard my money I missed.
I’ll go no more a roving with you fair maid!
A rovin', a rovin',
Since rovin’s been my ru-i-in,
I’ll go no more a roving,
With you fair maid!
