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!

()
A roving, a roving,
Since roving's been my ru-i-in,
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 out for a walk,
That we might have some private talk.
I'll go no more a roving with you fair maid!

()

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 meine frau!"
I'll go no more a roving with you fair maid!

()

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!

Listening to shanties fills me with a feeling of nostalgia for something I have never experienced. I long for the roll of sea and company of a crew I have never met.

@heliocracy

Look up Fernweh and Sehnsucht, German terms. Only terms I'm aware of which do this feeling justice.

@@heliocracy Thanks

I recommend participating in The Tall Ship Races (If you are from Europe, although I'm sure there are events like this outside of the old continent). As 18 year old if 0 sailing experience I enlisted myself in crew of one of the Polish ships (STS Fryderyk Chopin) and for two weeks we raced the North Sea with 30 other crews, staying in ports for a few days, visiting pubs and signing shanties. It was the time of my life. It isn't even that hard to get in (good timing is only needed). You can search for this type of events and ships that offer such services in your country. It's never too late ;)

Keeps amusing me how the "Dutchman" speaks German :P

@StorytellerOfTheDead

+pghuijs That was some kind of foolish belief at the time - people kept mistaking the two for each other.

@serithlenigod

+StorytellerOfTheDead they were more similar back then, it's still quite silly tho :D

@Puck-tu9zb

I'm Dutch and I was like: wait, was that supposed to be Dutch?
