Testo Nottamun Town - Jean Ritchie
Testo della canzone Nottamun Town (Jean Ritchie), tratta dall'album Folk Classics
In Noddiman 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 Noddiman Town
I rode a grey horse
That is called a grey mare
Grey mane and grey tail
Green stripe down her back
Grey mane and grey tail
Green stripe down her back
There wanted her owner be what was called black
She stood so still
She threw me to the dirt
She tore in my hide
And 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
All walking behind
And riding before
Come a stark naked drummer
A beating a drum
With his hands in his bosom
Come marching there long
I bought me a quart
To drive gladness away
And to stifle the dust
For it rained the whole day
Set down on a hard
Hot cold frozen stone
Ten thousand stood around me
And yet I was alone
Took my hat in my hands
For to keep my head warm
Ten thousand got drownded
That never was born
