Nottamun Town Lyrics - Sandy Denny

In Nottamun Town not a soul would look up, 

Not a soul would look up, not a soul would look down, 

Not a soul would look up, not a soul would look down, 

To show me the way to fair Nottamun Town. 

Met the King and the Queen, and a company more 

Come a-walking behind and a-riding before 

Come a stark naked drummer a-beating the drum 

With his hands on his bosom, come marching along. 

Sat down on a hard, hot cold frozen stone, 

Ten thousand stood 'round me, yet I was alone 

Took my hat in my hands for to keep my head warm, 

Ten thousand got drownded that never was born. 

In Nottamun Town not a soul would look up, 

Not a soul would look up, not a soul would look down, 

Not a soul would look up, not a soul would look down, 

To show me the way to fair Nottamun Town.
