Standard (EADGBE)

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

And the king and the queen and the company more

Came walking behind and a riding before

Come a stark naked drummer beating a drum

With his hand on his bosom came riding along

Sat down on a hard hot cold frozen stone

Ten thousand stood round me but I was alone

Took my heart in my hand to keep myself warm

Ten thousand was drowned that never was born

(Instrumental part)

(Repeat first verse)
