 Won't you come down to Yarmouth town



 Repeat Intro



 One night there came a sailor man

 he asked the daughter for her hand

 Well, I won't marry you she said

 I have all I want without being wed



 but if with me you'd like to linger

 I'll tie some string all around my finger

 As you walk by, pull on my string

 and I'll come down and let you right in



 CHORUS X2, Intro X1



 Well, the very next day at closing time

 the sailor man goes off to the strand

 And as he walks by pulls on that string

 She came down and let him right in



 Well, he's never seen such a sight before

 the string around her finger was all she wore



 BREAK: G Em C Am D G Em G Em C Am D



 CHORUS X2, Intro X1



 So all you men who to Yarmouth go

 If ya see those girls with their hair hung low

 all you gotta do is pull their strings

 and they'll come down and let you right in
