Yarmouth Town Lyrics - Sea Of No Cares - Great Big Sea

In Yarmouth town there lived a man 

He had a little tavern by the strand 

And the landlord had a daughter fair 

Pretty little thing with golden hair 

[Chorus:] 

Won't you come down 

Won't you come down 

Won't you come down to Yarmouth town 

One night there came a sailor man 

He asked the daughter for her hand 

Well I won't marry you she said 

I have all I want without being wed 

But if with me you'd like to linger 

I'll tie some string all around my finger 

As you walk by, pull on my string 

I'll come down and let you right in 

[Chorus 2x] 

Well the very next day at closing time 

The sailor man goes off to the strand 

And as he walks by pulls on that string 

And she came down and let him right in 

Well he's never such a sight before 

A string on her finger was all she wore 

[Chorus 2x] 

So all you men who to Yarmouth go 

If ya see those girls with their hair hung low 

All ya gotta do is pull their strings 

And they'll come down and let you right in 

[Chorus 4x]
