In Yarmouth town there lived a man
Di kota Yarmouth tinggal seorang pria

He had a little tavern by the strand
Dia memiliki sebuah tavern kecil di tepi pantai

And the landlord had a daughter fair
Dan pemiliknya memiliki seorang putri yang cantik

Pretty little thing with golden hair
Gadis kecil yang manis dengan rambut emas

[Chorus:]
Won't you come down
Maukah kau datang?

Won't you come down
Maukah kau datang?

Won't you come down to Yarmouth town
Maukah kau datang ke kota Yarmouth?

One night there came a sailor man
Suatu malam datanglah seorang pelaut

He asked the daughter for her hand
Dia meminta tangan sang putri

Well I won't marry you she said
"Tapi aku tidak akan menikahimu," katanya

I have all I want without being wed
"Aku sudah punya segalanya tanpa menikah."

But if with me you'd like to linger
Tapi jika kau ingin berlama-lama denganku

I'll tie some string all around my finger
Aku akan mengikatkan tali di jariku

As you walk by, pull on my string
Saat kau lewat, tarik tali itu

I'll come down and let you right in
Aku akan turun dan membiarkanmu masuk.

[Chorus 2x]
Maukah kau datang?
Maukah kau datang?

Well the very next day at closing time
Nah, keesokan harinya saat waktu tutup

The sailor man goes off to the strand
Si pelaut pergi ke tepi pantai

And as he walks by pulls on that string
Dan saat dia lewat, dia menarik tali itu

And she came down and let him right in
Dan dia turun dan membiarkannya masuk.

Well he's never such a sight before
Dia belum pernah melihat yang seperti itu sebelumnya

A string on her finger was all she wore
Satu tali di jarinya adalah satu-satunya yang dia pakai.

[Chorus 2x]
Maukah kau datang?
Maukah kau datang?

So all you men who to Yarmouth go
Jadi semua pria yang pergi ke Yarmouth

If ya see those girls with their hair hung low
Jika kau melihat gadis-gadis itu dengan rambut terurai

All ya gotta do is pull their strings
Yang perlu kau lakukan hanyalah menarik tali mereka

And they'll come down and let you right in
Dan mereka akan turun dan membiarkanmu masuk.

[Chorus 4x]
Maukah kau datang?
Maukah kau datang?
Maukah kau datang?
Maukah kau datang?
