Maid of Amsterdam, Traditional sea shanty in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The Maid of Amsterdam narrates tales of sailors encountering a Dutch woman through recurring chorus patterns and nautical themes.
The song originated during the early 1600s, with its first documented performance connected to Thomas Heywood's theatrical work The Rape of Lucrece.
English folklorist Cecil Sharp documented multiple versions of the song in Somerset's coastal regions between 1904 and 1914.
The song maintains its presence in modern media through inclusions in video games, films, and television shows about maritime adventures.
William A Pond's Naval Songs collection from 1883 contains a specific version titled Lee-gangway Chorus with distinct tune arrangements.
