"Nottamun Town" (Roud # 1044) is an English folk song which possibly dates from the late medieval period. It is popular in the Appalachian Mountains of the United States. ==Lyrics== Most version of the song run along these lines: ''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, green striped on his back'' ''Grey mane and grey tail, green striped on his 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 our ten toes we rode over the plain' ''Met the King and the Queen and the company more'' ''Came a riding behind and a walking before'' ''Come 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 yet I's alone'' ''Took my hat in my hand, for to keep my head warm'' ''Ten thousand got drowned that never was born'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nottamun Town」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
