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 |
