Maid of Amsterdam Lyrics by Nils Brown

Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag (Game Soundtrack: The Complete Edition)

2013

[Verse 1]
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!
[Chorus]
A-roving, a-roving
Since roving's been my ru-i-in
I'll go no more a-roving with you, fair maid!
[Verse 2]
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!
[Chorus]
A-roving, a-roving
Since roving's been my ru-i-in
I'll go no more a-roving with you, fair maid!
[Verse 3]
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 mein frau!"
I'll go no more a-roving with you, fair maid!
[Chorus]
A-roving, a-roving
Since roving's been my ru-i-in
I'll go no more a-roving with you, fair maid!
[Verse 4]
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!
[Chorus]
A-roving, a-roving
Since roving's been my ru-i-in
I'll go no more a-roving with you, fair maid!
