Yarmouth Town

verse 1 In Yarmouth town there lived a man Who kept a tavern by the strand, 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, wont you come down to Yarmouth town? Oh won't you come down, won't you come down, wont you come down to Yarmouth town? verse 2 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." Refrain Oh won't you come down, won't you come down, wont you come down to Yarmouth town? Oh won't you come down, won't you come down, wont you come down to Yarmouth town? verse 3 But she says, "If you want with me to linger, I'll tie a bit of string all around my finger, you come by and you pull on the string, I'll come down and I'll let you in." Refrain Oh won't you come down, won't you come down, wont you come down to Yarmouth town? Oh won't you come down, won't you come down, wont you come down to Yarmouth town? verse 4 Well the very next that sailor man, He want to the tavern by the sand, He went by, pulled on the string, She came down and she let him in. Refrain Oh won't you come down, won't you come down, wont you come down to Yarmouth town? Oh won't you come down, won't you come down, wont you come down to Yarmouth town?
