In Plymouth town there lived a maid
Bless you young women
In Plymouth town there lived a maid
Mind what I do 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-n
I'll go no more a rovin' with you fair maid
I took this fair maid for a walk
Bless you young women
I took this fair maid for a walk
Mind what I do 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-n
I'll go no more a rovin' with you fair maid
I took her hand within my own
Bless you young women
I took her hand within my own
Mind what I do say
I took her hand within my own
And said I'm bound for my old home
I'll go no more a rovin' with you fair maid
A rovin', a rovin'
Since rovin's been my ru-i-n
I'll go no more a rovin' with you fair maid
I put my arm around her waist
Bless you young women
I put my arm around her waist
Mind what I do say
I put my arm around her waist
Says she 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-n
I'll go no more a rovin' with you fair maid
I put my hand upon her knee
Bless you young women
I put my hand upon her knee
Mind what I do say
I put my hand upon her knee
Says she young man you're much too free
I'll go no more a rovin' with you fair maid
A rovin', a rovin'
Since rovin's been my ru-i-n
I'll go no more a rovin' with you fair maid
I put my hand upon her thigh
Bless you young women
I put my hand upon her thigh
Mind what I do say
I put my hand upon her thigh
Says she young man you're not too high
I'll go no more a rovin' with you fair maid
A rovin', a rovin'
Since rovin's been my ru-i-n
I'll go no more a rovin' with you fair maid
I lift that fair maid over the stile
Bless you young women
I lift that fair maid over the stile
Mind what I do say
I lift that fair maid over the stile
And nine months after she had a little child
I'll go no more a rovin' with you fair maid
A rovin', a rovin'
Since rovin's been my ru-i-n
I'll go no more a rovin' with you fair maid
This girl she left me broke and bent
Bless you young women
This girl she left me broke and bent
Mind what I do say
This girl she left me broke and bent
So back to sea I quickly went
I'll go no more a rovin' with you fair maid
A rovin', a rovin'
Since rovin's been my ru-i-n
I'll go no more a rovin' with you fair maid
