Geordie |
| As I walked out over London bridge |
| One misty morning early |
| I overheard a fair pretty maid |
| Was lamenting for her Geordie |
| Ah, my Geordie will be hanged in a golden chain |
| 'Tis not the chain of many |
| He was born of king’s royal breed |
| And lost to a virtuous lady |
| Go bridle me my milk white steed |
| Go bridle me my pony |
| I will ride to London court |
| To plead for the life of my Geordie |
| Ah, my Geordie never stole nor cow nor calf |
| He never hurted any |
| Stole sixteen of the king’s royal deer |
| And he sold them in Bohenny |
| Two pretty babies have I born |
| The third lies in my body |
| I’d freely part with them every one |
| If you’d spare the life of Geordie |
| The judge looked over his left shoulder |
| He said fair maid I’m sorry |
| He said fair maid you must be gone |
| For I cannot pardon Geordie |
| Ah, my Geordie will be hanged in a golden chain |
| 'Tis not the chain of many |
| Stole sixteen of the king’s royal deer |
| And he sold them in Bohenny |
