In Yarmouth Town there lived a man

And he kept a little tavern by the strand

The landlord had a daughter fair

A pretty little thing with the golden hair

Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town

Oh, won't you come down

Won't you come down

D G

Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town

Now, in this tavern was a sailor man

And he asked the daughter for her hand

"Why should I marry you" she said

"When I get all I want without being wed"

Won't you come down

"But if with me you want to linger

I'll tie a piece of string all around me finger

Oh, won't you come down
