   G                   Em
In Yarmouth town there lived a man  
   C            G      Am     D
He had a little tavern by the strand  
        G              Em
And the landlord had a daughter fair  
C             G          Am     D
Pretty little thing with golden hair  
 
Chorus 
G                    C
Won't you come down, Won't you come down  
G                      D        G
Won't you come down to Yarmouth town  
    G                  Em
One night there came a sailor man  
   C         G        Am      D
He asked the daughter for her hand  
     G             Em
Well I won't marry you she said  
  C          G      Am          D
I have all I want without being wed  
    G                Em
But if with me you'd like to linger  
     C        G           Am       D
I'll tie some string all around my finger  
G               Em
As you walk by, pull on my string  
C         G            Am        D
I'll come down and let you right in  
 
Chorus 2x 
         G                Em
Well the very next day at closing time  
    C      G        Am         D
The sailor man goes off to the strand  
    G              Em
And as he walks by pulls on that string  
    C        G            Am        D
And she came down and let him right in  
     G                 Em
Well he's never such a sight before  
  C                       
A string on her finger was all she wore  
G  C  G  C  D  2x 
Chorus 
   G                  Em
So all you men who to Yarmouth go  
      C         G                Em        D
If ya see those girls with their hair hung low  
       G           Em
All ya gotta do is pull their strings  
    C            G            Am        D
And they'll come down and let you right in  
 
Chorus 2x
