1
In Yarmouth town there lived a man
2
He had a little tavern by the strand
3
And the landlord had a daughter fair
4
Pretty little thing with golden hair
5
[Chorus:]
6
Won't you come down
7
Won't you come down
8
Won't you come down to Yarmouth town
9
One night there came a sailor man
10
He asked the daughter for her hand
11
Well I won't marry you she said
12
I have all I want without being wed
13
But if with me you'd like to linger
14
I'll tie some string all around my finger
15
As you walk by, pull on my string
16
I'll come down and let you right in
17
[Chorus 2x]
18
Well the very next day at closing time
19
The sailor man goes off to the strand
20
And as he walks by pulls on that string
21
And she came down and let him right in
22
Well he's never such a sight before
23
A string on her finger was all she wore
24
And when he went and pulled that string
25
She pulled back the sheets and let him in.
26
[Chorus 2x]
27
So all you men who to Yarmouth go
28
If ya see those girls with their hair hung low
29
All ya gotta do is pull their strings
30
And they'll come down and let you right in
31
[Chorus 4x]
