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
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 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
Won't you come down
D                               G
Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town


[VERSE 6:]

The news it soon got all around
        C
And the very next night in Yarmouth Town
          G
There was fifteen sailors pulling on the string
                      C
She came down and she let them all in

    G
Oh, won't you come down

[VERSE 7:]

So, all young men that to Yarmouth go
   C
To see a little girl with her hair hung low
