Yarmouth Town Lyrics - Pandemonium: The Essential Bellowhead - 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? 

Instrumental 

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? 

Instrumental 

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? 

Instrumental 

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?
