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]
