Murder, mysticism, magic, marriage, tragic love and cruel vengeance.
An elfin knight, a wicked sister and a Really Creepy Town.
Another talking bird. (A very fine bird.)
And a ram worthy of P. T. Barnum.

NOTTAMUN TOWN traditional
In Nottamun Town
Not a soul did look up
Not a soul did look up
Not a soul did look down
Not a soul did look up
Not a soul did look down
To show me the way to fair Nottamun Town
I rode a grey horse
Twas a mule roany mare
Grey mane and grey tail
Grey stripe down her back
Grey mane and grey tail
Grey stripe down her back
And not a spot on her be what was coal black
She stood so still
She threw me to the dirt
She tore 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
A riding behind
And a marching before
Came a stark nekkid drummer
A beatin' a drum
With his hand 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 did they 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
And yet I was alone
Took my hat in my hand
To keep my head warm
Ten thousand got drowned that never was born
In Nottamun Town
Not a soul did look up
Not a soul did look up
Not a soul did look down
Not a soul did look up
Not a soul did look down
To show me the way to fair Nottamun Town
