Liam Clancy - Yarmouth Town
[VERSE 1:]
G
In Yarmouth Town there lived a man
C
And he kept a little tavern by the strand
G
The landlord had a daughter fair
C
A pretty little thing with the golden hair
[CHORUS:]
G
Oh, won't you come down
C
Won't you come down
D G
Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town
Oh, won't you come down
C
Won't you come down
D G
Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town
[VERSE 2:]
Now, in this tavern was a sailor man
C
And he asked the daughter for her hand
G
"Why should I marry you" she said
C
"When I get all I want without being wed"
[CHORUS:]
G
Oh, won't you come down
C
Won't you come down
D G
Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town
Oh, won't you come down
C
Won't you come down
D G
Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town
[VERSE 3:]
"But if with me you want to linger
C
I'll tie a piece of string all around me finger
G
And all you have to do is pull on the string
C
And I'll come down and I'll let you in"
[CHORUS:]
G
Oh, won't you come down
C

D G
Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town
Oh, won't you come down
C

D G
Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town
[VERSE 4:]
And at closing time the sailor man
C
Went back to the tavern by the strand
G
He'd never seen such a sight before
C
For the string on her finger was all she wore
[CHORUS:]
G
Oh, won't you come down
C
Won't you come down
D G
Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town
Oh, won't you come down
C
Won't you come down
D G
Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town
[VERSE 5:]
The sailor played the whole night through
C
And then in the morning went back to the crew
G
He told them all, the daughter fair
C
The pretty little thing with the golden hair
[CHORUS:]
G
Oh, won't you come down
C
Won't you come down
D G
Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town
Oh, won't you come down
C

[VERSE 6:]
