Nottamun Town |
| In fair Nottamun town, not a soul would look up |
| Not a soul would look up, not a soul would look down |
| Not a soul would look up, not a soul would look down |
| To show me the way to fair Nottamun town |
| I rode a gray horse, a mule roany mare |
| Gray mane and gray tail, a green stripe down her back |
| Gray mane and gray tail, a green stripe down her back |
| There wasn’t a hair on her be-what was coal black |
| She stood so still, she threw me to the dirt |
| She tore -a my hide and she bruised my shirt |
| From saddle to stirrup I mounted again |
| And on my ten toes I rode over the plain |
| Met the king and the queen and a company more |
| A-riding behind and a-marching before |
| Came a stark-naked drummer, a-beating a drum |
| With his heels in his bosom come marching along |
| They laughed and they smiled, not a soul did look gay |
| They talked all the while, not a word they did say |
| I bought me a quart to drive gladness away |
| And to stifle the dust for it rained the whole day |
| Sat down on a hard, hot cold frozen stone |
| Ten thousand stood round me and yet I’s alone |
| Took my hat in my hand for to keep my head warm |
| Ten thousand got drowned that never was born |
