Shirley Collins - Nottamun Town lyrics



In fair 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 big horse, it was called a grey mare
Grey mane and grey tail, green stripes down her back
Grey mane and grey tail, green stripes down her back
There wa'nt a hair on her be-what was coal black.
She stood so still, she threw me to the dirt.
She tore my hide and bruised my shirt
From saddle to stirrup I mounted again
And on my ten toes I rode over the plain.
Saw the King and Queen, and the company of men
A-Riding behind and riding before
A stark naked drummer a-marching along
With his hands in his bosom a-beating his drum.
Sat down on a 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 drownded that never was born.
