GEORDIE, OR MY GEORDIE WILL BE HANGED IN A GOLDEN CHAIN 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's court to plead for the life of 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 am 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. | GEORDIE While I was crossing London Bridge one sunless day, I saw a woman weeping for love. She was lamenting for her Geordie. They will hang Geordie with a golden cord - it's a rare privilege. He stole six deer in the King's park, selling them for some cash. Saddle up her white-maned horse, saddle up her pony, she'll ride on down to London tonight to plead for Geordie. Geordie never stole anything for me, a fruit or a rare flower. He stole six deer from the King's park, selling them for some cash. Save his lips, save his smile, he's not yet 20 years old. Winter will fall over his face, too, you can hang him then. Neither the heart of the English nor the King's scepter can save Geordie. Even if they might cry with you, the law cannot change. Thus they will hang him with a golden cord - it's a rare privilege. He stole six deer in the King's park, selling them for some cash. He stole six deer in the King's park, selling them for some cash. |
