    This document contains lyrics to a traditional Irish sailor song about a man who meets and courts a fair maid from Amsterdam. The song describes how the man takes the maid for a walk in the park where he becomes increasingly amorous, first putting his arm around her waist, then his hand on her knee, and finally his hand on her thigh, with the maid objecting more strongly each time by telling him he is being too forward. The lyrics are presented in 7 verses that tell this story.

    One night I crept from my abode
    To meet this fair maid down the road
    3. I met this fair maid after dark
    And took her to her favorite park.
    4. I took this fair maid for a walk
    And we had such a loving talk.
    5. I put me arm around her waist
    Sez she, "Young man, you're in great haste!"
    6. I put my hand upon her knee
    Sez she, "Young man you're rather free!"
    7. I put my hand upon her thigh
    Sez she, "Young man you're rather high!"
