A-Rovin' - Sea Shanty Singalong - Skeleton Company

Alternatively called “The Maid of Amsterdam”, is a fun ditty for the bar when were allowed back in them… So it’s a perfect time to start practicing!

All hands on deck! Join the company and singalong!

In Amsterdam there lives a maid
Mark well what I do say
In Amsterdam there lives a maid
And she was the mistress of her trade
I'll go no more a roving with you fair maid
A roving a roving since roving's been my ruin
I'll go no more a roving with you fair maid

I asked this maid to take a walk
Mark well what I do say
I asked this maid to take a walk so we might have some private talk
I'll go no more a roving with you fair maid
A roving a roving since roving's been my ruin
I'll go no more a roving with you fair maid

Then she sat herself upon my knee
Mark well what I do say
Oh she sat herself upon my knee, I say young maid you sure are free
I'll go no more a roving with you fair maid
A roving a roving since roving's been my ruin
I'll go no more a roving with you fair maid

And she placed her hand upon my thigh
Mark well what I do say
Oh she placed her hand upon my thigh, I say young maid that’s rather high
I'll go no more a roving with you fair maid
A roving a roving since roving's been my ruin
I'll go no more a roving with you fair maid

Then she placed her hand yet higher still
Mark well what I do say
Oh she placed her hand yet higher still, I say young maid that’s quite the thrill
I'll go no more a roving with you fair maid
A roving a roving since roving's been my ruin
I'll go no more a roving with you fair maid

Then a great bid Dutchman rammed my bow
Mark well what I do say
Then a great big Dutchman rammed my bow,
“I say young man this ist mein frau”
I'll go no more a roving with you fair maid
A roving a roving since roving's been my ruin
I'll go no more a roving with you fair maid

So take fair warning boys from me
Mark well what I do say
So take fair warning boys from me, with other mens wives don’t make to free
I'll go no more a roving with you fair maid
A roving a roving since roving's been my ruin
I'll go no more a roving with you fair maid

His stuff is great, and made case and point here since he helped the song not sound like the ear sandpaper unlike the audio quality of my other videos.
