In Hamsterdam I met this maid
Mark well what I do say
In Hamsterdam I met this maid
And she was mistress of her trade
I'll go no more a rovin' with you fair maid

A rovin' a rovin' since roving's been my ruin
I'll go no more a rovin' with you fair maid

I put my hand upon her toe
Mark well what I do say
I put my hand upon her toe
Says she “Young man, you’re feelin’ low”
I'll go no more a rovin' with you fair maid

A rovin' a rovin' since roving's been my ruin
I'll go no more a rovin' with you fair maid

I took one look and I almost died
It was secret agent Henry Hyde!
