John Fleagle - Nottamun Town lyrics

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 The King and the Queen and the company more Come walking behind, come riding before Come stark naked drummer beating a drum With his hands on his bosom come marching along I an old horse, 't'was called the grey mare Grey mane and grey tail, green stripe down her back Grey mane and grey tail, green stripe down her back And there was nae hair on her be what was coal black She stood so still threw me to the dirt Oh, she tore at my hide, and she bruised my shirt From saddle to stirrup I mounted again And on my ten toes I rode over the plain Sat down on a hard hot cold frozen stone Ten thousand stood round, yet I was alone With my hat in my hand for to keep my head warm Ten thousand got drown'ded that never were 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
