Georgie |
As I walked over london bridge |
One misty morning early |
I heard some fairy young maiden say |
Lord spare me the life of Georgie |
Go settle me up my milk white steed |
And bridle him so gayly |
Then ride away to the king’s high court |
And plead for the life of Georgie" |
So she rode all day and she rode all night |
Til she was running weary |
Then calming back her long yowl hair |
She plead for the life of georgie |
Then georgie roared up and he plead for himself |
He says I never murdered any |
But he stole sixteen of the king’s best steeds |
And sold them in romany |
Then the oldest law urged the bar |
Says «George I’m sorry for you |
But your own confession condemns you to die |
May the lord have mercy upon you |
If I was over on yonder hill |
Where kisses I’ve had a plenty |
With my sword and my pistol by my side |
I’d fight for the life of Georgie |
As Georgie was walking through the streets |
He bid farewell to many |
Then he bid farewell to his own true love |
Which grieved him worse then any |
Georgie was hanged with a golden cord |
Just like you’ve never seen many |
For he was a member of the royal race |
And loved by a virtuous lady |
