maid of amsterdam - tommy makem lyrics

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-rovin’ with you fair maid
a-rovin’, a-rovin’, rovin’s been my ru-i-in
i’ll go no more a-rovin’ with you fair maid
her eyes were blue, her skin was brown
her hair in a ring that’s hanging down
one night i crept from my abode
to meet this fair maid down the road
i met this fair maid after dark
and took her to her favorite park.
i took this fair maid for a walk
and we had such a loving talk
i took her out and spent my pay

and then this maid just faded away
i put me arm around her waist
sez she, ‘young man, you’re in great haste!’
i put my hand upon her knee
sez she, ‘young man you’re rather free!’
i put my hand upon her thigh
sez she, ‘young man you’re rather high!’
she swore that she’d be true to me
but spent me pay-day fast and free
in three weeks time i was badly bent
then off to sea i sadly went.
in a bloodboat yank bound round cape h-rn
me boots and clothes were all in p-wn
bound up cape stiff through ice and snow
and up the coast to cally-o
an’ then back to the liverpool docks
saltpeter stowed in our boots an’ socks
now when i got home from sea
a soger had her on his knee.
