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 

When the king and the queen and the company mourn 
Come a-walking behind 
And riding before 
Come a stark naked drummer 
A-beating the drum 
With his hands on his bosom come marching along 

Sat down on a hard, hard cold frozen stone 
Ten thousand around 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 

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
