lyrics

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.

I rode a grey horse, a mule roany mare.
Grey mane and grey tail, a green stripe down her back.
Grey mane and grey tail, a green stripe down her back.
There wa'nt a hair on her be-what was coal black.

Met the King and the Queen, and a company more,
a-riding behind and a-marching before.
Come a stark naked drummer a-beating the drum
with his heels in his bosom come a-marching along.

They laughed and they smiled, not a soul did look gay.
They talked all the while, not a word did they 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, yet I was alone.
Took my hat in my hands for to keep my head warm.
Ten thousand got drowned that never were born.
