Lyrics: A roving, a roving since roving's been my ruin I'll go no more a roving from you fair maid In Amsterdam there lives a maid mark well what I do say In Amsterdam there lives a maid and she was mistress of her trade I'll go no more a roving from you fair maid A roving a roving since roving's been my ruin I'll go no more a roving from you fair maid Her eyes are like two stars so bright mark well what I do say Her eyes are like two stars so bright her face is soft her step is light I'll go no more a roving from you fair maid A roving a roving since roving's been my ruin I'll go no more a roving from you fair maid Her cheeks are like the rosebud's red, mark well what I do say Her cheeks are like the rosebud's red there's a wealth of hair upon her head I go no more a roving from you fair maid A roving a roving since roving's been my ruin I'll go no more a roving from you fair maid |

Lyrics for the version sung by The Seekers: In Plymouth Town there lived a maid; Bless you, young women! In Plymouth Town there lived a maid; Mind what I did say. In Plymouth Town there lived a maid, And she was mistress of her trade; I'll go no more a-rovin' with you, fair maid. A-rovin', a-rovin', since rovin's been my ru-i-in, I'll go no more a-rovin' with you, fair maid. I took this fair maid for a walk; Bless you, young women! And we had such a loving talk; Mind what I did say. I took this fair maid for a walk, And we had such a loving talk; I'll go no more a-rovin' with you, fair maid. A-rovin', a-rovin', since rovin's been my ru-i-in, I'll go no more a-rovin' with you, fair maid. Her eyes are like two stars so bright; Bless you, young women! Her face is fair, her step is light; Mind what I did say. Her eyes are like two stars so bright; Her face is fair, her step is light; I'll go no more a-rovin' with you, fair maid. A-rovin', a-rovin', since rovin's been my ru-i-in, I'll go no more a-rovin' with you, fair maid. I put my arm around her waist; Bless you, young women! She said, "Young man, you're in great haste." Mind what I did say. I put my arm around her waist; She said, "Young man, you're in great haste." I'll go no more a-rovin' with you, fair maid. A-rovin', a-rovin', since rovin's been my ru-i-in, I'll go no more a-rovin' with you, fair maid. |
