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)
