A rovin a rovin
since rovin's been my ruin
I'lll go no more a rovin
with you fair maid

In Amsterdam I met a maid
mark well what I do say
In Amsterdam I met a maid
And she was mistress of her trade
I'll go no more a rovin with you fair maid

I took this maiden for a walk
I gave her whiskey didn't she talk!

I placed my hand upon her toe
she said young rogue, your rather low

I placed my hand upon her knee
she said young rogue your rather free

I placed my hand upon her thigh
she said young rogue your rather high

I placed my hand upn her chest
We did the dance she loved the best

I gave this miss a parting kiss
Above the rest my money I miss!
