Amsterdam. Also collected direct from Stan Hugill. It contains some wonderfully vivid imagery. These are the kind of lyrics that would make any horny sailor think of old Cape Stiff.
Amsterdam
In Amsterdam there lived a maid.
Mark well what I do say!
In Amsterdam there lived a maid,
And she was mistress of the whoring trade.
I'll go no more a-roving with you, fair maid.
Chorus:
A-roving, a-roving, since roving's been my rue-eye-in.
I'll go no more a-roving with you, fair maid.
I took this fair maid to the park.
Mark well etc.
I took this fair maid to the park.
And we sat down where it was dark.
I'll go no more etc.
I put my hand upon her knee…
She said, "Young man, you're very free."
I put my hand upon her thigh…
She said, "Young man, you're getting nigh."
I put my hand yet higher still…
She said, "Young man, that's quite a thrill."
I put my hand upon her breast…
And the wind from her arse blew sou'sou'west.
The flesh of her breast was as white as milk…
And the hair of her cunt was as soft as silk.
The cheeks of her ass were tight as a drum…
And the lips of her cunt were red as a plum.
Her belly it was soft and wide…
And it gave me such a lovely ride.
I fucked her once, I fucked her twice…
She said, "Young man, you're very nice."
I took my leave, I said goodbye…
She said, "Young man, you're very sly."
I said, "What now, my pretty maid?"…
She said, "You're nice, but I'll be paid."
I said, "But you enjoyed it too."…
She said, "That's right, as much as you."
She said, "Young man, you're very brash…
I like it more when I get cash."
