G                   C
In Yarmouth Town there lived a man,
   G             C
He kept a tavern by the sand.
     G              C
This landlord had a daughter fair,
  G                           C
A plump little thing with the golden hair.

[Chorus]
      G
Well, won't you come down,
C
Won't you come down,
G
Won't you come down
   D        G
To Yarmouth town.

[Verse 2]
    G                     C
Now to this tavern come a sailor-man
       G                  C
And He asked the daughter for her hand.
     G              C
“Why should I marry you?” she said,
   G                  C
“I get all I want without being wed.”

[Chorus]
      G
Well, won't you come down,
C
Won't you come down,
G
Won't you come down
   D        G
To Yarmouth town.

[Verse 3]
         G                       C
But, she said, “If you want with me to linger,
     G                       C
I'll tie a bit of string all around me finger.
   G                 C
As you pass by, just pull that string,
    G                       C
And I'll come down and I'll let you in.”

[Chorus]
      G
Well, won't you come down,
C
Won't you come down,
G
Won't you come down
   D        G
To Yarmouth town.

[Verse 4]
      G                C
So at closing time the sailor-man,
   G                  C
He went to the tavern by the sand.
    G                C
And then he went and pulled that string,
    G                     C
And she come down and she let Jack in.

      G
Well, won't you come down,

   D        G
To Yarmouth town.

[Verse 5]
         G                 C
And he'd never seen such a sight before,
          G                            C
cause the string round her finger were all she wore.
    G                C
And when he went and pulled that string
    G                              C
She pulled back the sheets and she let him in.

    G                         C
And early in the morning went back to his crew,
      G                                C
Where then he told them all about that maiden fair,
    G                           C
The plump little thing with the golden hair.
