A-Roving
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-ro-o-ving with you fair maid
A roving, a roving, Since roving's been my ru-i-in I'll go no more a-ro-o-ving with you fair maid
I took that fair maid for a walk Mark well what I do say I took that fair maid for a walk And we had such a loving talk I'll go no more a-ro-o-ving with you fair maid

I took that maid upon my knee Mark well what I do say I took that maid upon my knee She said, 'Young man, you're rather free!' I'll go no more a-ro-o-ving with you fair maid
Written as a poem by Lord Byron in 1817 after he tired of the bad boy life. It was turned into a Sea Shanty. It was a pump song and later a capstan song.
