2. 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
   
3. 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

R: Won't you come down... (2x)

4. 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
