   G5                   E5
In Yarmouth town there lived a man  
   C5            G5      A5     D5
He had a little tavern by the strand  
        G5              E5
And the landlord had a daughter fair  
C5             G5          A5     D5
Pretty little thing with golden hair  
 
Chorus 
G5                    C5
Won't you come down, Won't you come down  
G5                      D5        G5
Won't you come down to Yarmouth town  
    G5                  E5
One night there came a sailor man  
   C5         G5        A5      D5
He asked the daughter for her hand  
     G5             E5
Well I won't marry you she said  
  C5          G5      A5          D5
I have all I want without being wed  
    G5                E5
But if with me you'd like to linger  
     C5        G5           A5       D5
I'll tie some string all around my finger  
G5               E5
As you walk by, pull on my string  
C5         G5            A5        D5
I'll come down and let you right in  
 
Chorus 2x 
         G5                E5
Well the very next day at closing time  
    C5      G5        A5         D5
The sailor man goes off to the strand  
    G5              E5
And as he walks by pulls on that string  
    C5        G5            A5        D5
And she came down and let him right in  
     G5                 E5
Well he's never such a sight before  
  C5                       
A string on her finger was all she wore  
G5  C5  G5  C5  D5  2x 
Chorus 
   G5                  E5
So all you men who to Yarmouth go  
      C5         G5                E5        D5
If ya see those girls with their hair hung low  
       G5           E5
All ya gotta do is pull their strings  
    C5            G5            A5        D5
And they'll come down and let you right in  
 
Chorus 2x
