Won't you come down
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
To Yarmouth town
In Yarmouth town there lived a man
And he kept a tavern by the strand
And the landlord had a daughter fair
Pretty little thing with golden hair
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
To Yarmouth town
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
To Yarmouth town
Now in this tavern was a sailor man
And he asked his 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
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
To Yarmouth town
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
To Yarmouth town
But if with me you'd like to linger
I'll tie some string all around my finger
And all you have to do is pull on my string
I'll come down and I'll let you right in
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
To Yarmouth town
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
To Yarmouth town
And at closing time the sailor man
Went back to the tavern by the strand
He'd never seen such a sight before
But the string on her finger was all she wore
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
To Yarmouth town
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
To Yarmouth town
The news it soon got all around
And the very next night in Yarmouth town
There was fifteen sailors pulling on the string
She came down and she let them all in
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
To Yarmouth town
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
To Yarmouth town
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 she'll let you all in
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
To Yarmouth town
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
To Yarmouth town
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
To Yarmouth town
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
To Yarmouth town
Come on
Oh won't you come down
Won't you come down
Won't you come down
To Yarmouth town
