Yarmouth Town - Bellowhead

In Yarmouth town, there lived a man

Who kept a tavern by the sand

This landlord had a daughter fair

A plump little thing with the golden hair

Oh, won’t you come down, won’t you come down

Won’t you come down to Yarmouth town?

Won’t you come down, won’t you come down

Won’t you come down to Yarmouth town?

Well to this tavern came a sailor man

He asked the daughter for her hand

«Why should I marry you?»

she said

«I get all I want without being wed.»

Oh, won’t you come down, won’t you come down

Won’t you come down to Yarmouth town?

Won’t you come down, won’t you come down

Won’t you come down to Yarmouth town?

But she says if you want with me to linger

I’ll tie a string all around my finger

You come by and you pull on the string

I’ll come down and I’ll let you in

Oh, won’t you come down, won’t you come down

Won’t you come down to Yarmouth town?

Won’t you come down, won’t you come down

Won’t you come down to Yarmouth town?

Well the very next night that sailor man

He went to the tavern by the sand

He went by, and he pulled on the string

She came down and she let him in

Oh, won’t you come down, won’t you come down

Won’t you come down to Yarmouth town?

Won’t you come down, won’t you come down

Won’t you come down to Yarmouth town?

Well he’d never seen such a sight before

For the string around her finger was all she wore

And when he went and he pulled on the string

She pulled back the blankets and let Jack in

Oh, won’t you come down, won’t you come down

Won’t you come down to Yarmouth town?

Won’t you come down, won’t you come down

Won’t you come down to Yarmouth town?

And there he spent the whole night through

And early in the morning went back to his crew

Told them all about that maiden there

The plump little thing with the golden hair

Oh, won’t you come down, won’t you come down

Won’t you come down to Yarmouth town?

Won’t you come down, won’t you come down

Won’t you come down to Yarmouth town?

And the word it soon got round

And the very next night in Yarmouth town

There were fifteen sailors pulling on the string

She came down and she let them all in

And won’t you come down, won’t you come down

Won’t you come down to Yarmouth town?

Won’t you come down, won’t you come down

Won’t you come down to Yarmouth town?

So come all you young sailors who down to Yarmouth do go

To see a plump little thing with her hair hanging low

Well all you’ve got to do is pull on the string

She’ll come down and she’ll let you in

Oh, won’t you come down, won’t you come down

Won’t you come down to Yarmouth town?

Won’t you come down, won’t you come down

Won’t you come down to Yarmouth town?

Won’t you come down, won’t you come down

Won’t you come down to Yarmouth town?

Won’t you come down, won’t you come down

Won’t you come down to Yarmouth town?

Won’t you come down, won’t you come down

Won’t you come down to Yarmouth town?

Won’t you come down, won’t you come down

Won’t you come down to Yarmouth town?

Won’t you come down, won’t you come down

Won’t you come down to Yarmouth town?

Won’t you come down, won’t you come down

Won’t you come down to Yarmouth town?
