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 grey horse, a mule roany
mare
Grey mane and grey tail, a green stripe down her back
Grey mane and grey tail, a
green stripe 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 -a my hide and she bruised my shirt
From
saddle to stirrup I mounted again
And on my ten toes I rode over the plain
Met the
King and the Queen and a company more
A-riding behind and a-marching before
Came a stark
naked drummer a-beating a drum
With his heels in his bosom come marching along
They
laughed and they smiled, not a soul did look gay
They talked all the while, not a word they did
say
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 round me and
yet I's alone
Took my hat in my hand for to keep my head warm
Ten thousand got drownded
that never was born
sung by Jean Ritchie
