verse 1: 
G 
In Yarmouth Town there lived a man 
       C 
And he kept a little tavern by the strand 
    G 
The landlord had a daughter fair 
                               C 
A pretty little thing with the golden hair 

G Oh, won't you come down C Won't you come down D G Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town Oh, won't you come down C Won't you come down D G Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town
verse 2: Now, in this tavern was a sailor man C And he asked the daughter for her hand G 'Why should I marry you' she said C 'When I get all I want without being wed'
G Oh, won't you come down C Won't you come down D G Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town Oh, won't you come down C Won't you come down D G Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town
verse 3: 'But if with me you want to linger C I'll tie a piece of string all around me finger G And all you have to do is pull on the string C And I'll come down and I'll let you in'
G Oh, won't you come down C Won't you come down D G Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town Oh, won't you come down C Won't you come down D G Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town

G Oh, won't you come down C Won't you come down D G Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town Oh, won't you come down C Won't you come down D G Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town
VERSE 7: So, all young men that to Yarmouth go C To see a little girl with her hair hung low G All you got to do is pull on the string C She'll come down and she'll let you all in
G Oh, won't you come down C Won't you come down D G Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town Oh, won't you come down C Won't you come down D G Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town Won't you come down C Won't you come down D G Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town Oh, won't you come down C Won't you come down D G Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town Won't you come down C Won't you come down D G Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town Oh, won't you come down C Won't you come down D G Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town
