Lyrics

In a-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 my way to fair Nottamun town I bought me a horse, t'was called the gray mare Gray mane and gray tail, a green stripe down her back Gray mane and gray tail, a green stripe down her back There ain't a hair on her that ain't coal black She stood so still, she threw me to the dirt She bruised my hide and she teared my shirt From saddle to stirrup I mounted again-a And on my ten toes I rode over the plain When I got there, no one could I see They all stood around a-looking at me I called for a quart to drive gladness away To stifle the dust โ€” for it had rained the whole day The king and the queen and a company more Came a-riding behind and a-walking before Came a stark-naked drummer, a-beating a drum With his heels in his bosom come marching along Sat down on a hard, hot cold frozen stone Ten thousand stood round me and yet I wass alone Took my hat in my hand for to keep my head warm Ten thousand got drowned that never was born You might also like Henry Martin Bert Jansch The Gardener Bert Jansch Needle of Death Bert Jansch Yeah, 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 my way to fair Nottamun town
