[VERSE 1]
   G                   Em
In Yarmouth town there lived a man
   C             C/B         Am     D
He kept a little tavern down by the strand
    G              Em
The landlord had a daughter fair
  C             C/B            Am     D
A pretty little thing with the golden hair

[CHORUS]
    G                    C
Oh, Won't you come down, won't you come down
    D                      C        G
Oh, Won't you come down to Yarmouth town
    G                    C
Oh, Won't you come down, won't you come down
    D                      C        G
Oh, Won't you come down to Yarmouth town

[VERSE 2]
   G                  Em
At night there came a sailor man
     C         C/B      Am      D
He's asked the daughter for her hand
    G                  Em
"Oh why should I marry you" she said
   C        C/B      Am        D
I get all I want without being wed

[CHORUS]
    G                    C
Oh, Won't you come down, won't you come down
    D                      C        G
Oh, Won't you come down to Yarmouth town

Oh, Won't you come down, won't you come down
    D                      C        G
Oh, Won't you come down to Yarmouth town

[VERSE 3]
    G                   Em
But if with me you, you want to linger
     C            C/B         Am       D
I'll tie piece of string all around me finger
    G                    Em
And as you pass by, just pull on the string
    C         C/B        Am      D
And I'll come down and I let you in

[CHORUS]
    G                    C
Oh, Won't you come down, won't you come down
    D                      C        G
Oh, Won't you come down to Yarmouth town
    G                    C
Oh, Won't you come down, won't you come down
    D                      C        G
Oh, Won't you come down to Yarmouth town
