lyrics

In Yarmouth Town there lived a man
and he kept a tavern by the strand
the landlord had a daughter fair
a plump young thing with golden hair

Chorus: Won't you come down
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
to Yarmouth Town

Now to this tavern came a sailorman
and he asked the daughter for her hand
"Why should I marry you?" she said
"I can get all I want without being wed"

Chorus:
Won't you go down...

"But if you want for while with me to linger
I'll tie a little string all around my finger
and as you pass by pull that string
and I'll come down and I'll let you all in"

Chorus: Won't you go down...

So at closing time this sailor man
well, he went to the tavern by the strand
and as he passed by he pulled that string
she came down and she let him all in

horus: Won't you go down...

Well, the sailor n'er seen such a thing before
For the string around her finger was all that she wore
He was so darned pleased that he pulled that string
She opened the sheets and she let him in

Chorus: Won't you go down...







So the sailor stayed the whole night through
And early in the morning staggered back to his crew
Where he told them all about the maiden fair
The plump young thing with golden hair

Chorus: Won't you go down...

And the story it soon got around
and the very next night in Yarmouth Town
There were fifteen sailors pulling that string
And she came down and she let them all in

Chorus: Won't you go down...

So to all you fellows for to Yarmouth
go Keep an eye for the girl with her hair hanging low
And if you pass by just pull that string
And she'll come down and she'll let you all in

Chorus: Won't you go down... Chorus: Won't you go down... -
