Intro

(Bo Diddley beat) X2

  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

Repeat Intro

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

and I'll come down and let you right in

CHORUS X2, Intro X1

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

She came down and let him right in

Well, he's never seen such a sight before

the string around her finger was all she wore

Break

CHORUS X2, Intro X1

So all you men who to Yarmouth go

If ya see those girls with their hair hung low

all you gotta do is pull their strings

and they'll come down and let you right in

CHORUS X4, Intro X1
