Fairport Convention - "Nottamun Town" lyrics
*** Complimentary Nottamun Town Ringtone ***
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
When the king and the queen and the company mourn
Come a-walking behind
And riding before
Come a stark naked drummer
Sat down on a hard, hard cold frozen stone
With his hands on his bosom come marching along
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
When the king and the queen and the company mourn
Come a-walking behind
And riding before
Come a stark naked drummer
Sat down on a hard, hard cold frozen stone
With his hands on his bosom come marching along
A-beating the drum
Ten thousand around me
Yet I was alone
For to keep my head warm
Took my hat in my hands
In Nottamun Town, not a soul would look up
Not a soul would look up
Ten thousand got drownded that never was born
Not a soul would look down
Not a soul would look down
Not a soul would look up
To show me the way to fair Nottamun Town
*** Complimentary Nottamun Town Ringtone ***
