One night there came a sailor man
he asked the daughter for her hand
Well, I won't marry you she said
I have all I want without being wed
but if with me you'd like to linger
I'll tie some string all around my finger
As you walk by, pull on my string
and I'll come down and let you right in
CHORUS X2, Intro X1
Well, the very next day at closing time
the sailor man goes off to the strand
And as he walks by pulls on that string
She came down and let him right in
Well, he's never seen such a sight before
the string around her finger was all she wore
BREAK: G Em C Am D G Em G Em C Am D
CHORUS X2, Intro X1
So all you men who to Yarmouth go
If ya see those girls with their hair hung low
all you gotta do is pull their strings
and they'll come down and let you right in
