Nottamun Town Songtext
von John Fleagle

In 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

The King and the Queen
And a company more
Come a-walking behind
Come a-riding before
Come a stark naked drummer
A-beating the drum
With his hands on his bosom
Come a-marching along


I had an old horse
Was called the Grey Mare
Grey mane and grey tail
Green stripe down her back
Grey mane and grey tail
Green stripe down her back
And there was no hair on her be what was called black

She stood so still
Threw me to the dirt
Oh, she tore at my heart
And she bruised my shirt
From saddle to stirrup
I mounted again
And on my ten toes
I rode over the plain

Sat down on a hard
Hard cold frozen stone
Ten thousand stood around
Yet I was alone
With my hat in my hand
For to keep my head warm
Ten thousand got drownded
That never were born


In 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
