nottamun town - isobel campbell lyrics

Loading...

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 big horse that was called the grey mare
grey mane and grey tail, green stripes down her back
grey mane and grey tail, green stripes down her back
there ain’t a hair on her be-what was coal black

she stood so still, she threw me to the dirt
she tored at my hide and bruised my shirt
from saddle to stirrup i mounted again
and on my ten toes i rode over the plain

so the king and the queen
and the company of men
a-walking behind and riding before
now a stark naked drummer
come riding along
with his hands in his bosom
always beating his drum

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 around me
yet i was alone
took my hat in my hand
for to keep my head warm
ten thousand got drownded that never were born
