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. |
