Geordie
As I rode over London Bridge
One misty morning early
I overheard a tender-hearted girl
Pleading for the life of Geordie
Now Geordie robbed no store houses
He never murdered any
He only shot a king's white deer
All for to feed his family
Then the judge looked over his left shoulder
And thus he says to Geordie
By your confession you shall hang
And the Lord have mercy upon you
Then Geordie looked around the court
And saw his dearest Polly
Said he My love, you've come too late
For I'm condemned already
Then Geordie walked around the court
And said farewell to many
But the leaving of his one true love
That grieved him worst of any
Let Geordie hang in golden chains
His crimes they were not many
He only shot a king's white deer
All for to feed his family
One misty morning early
I overheard a tender-hearted girl
Pleading for the life of Geordie
Now Geordie robbed no store houses
He never murdered any
He only shot a king's white deer
All for to feed his family
Then the judge looked over his left shoulder
And thus he says to Geordie
By your confession you shall hang
And the Lord have mercy upon you
Then Geordie looked around the court
And saw his dearest Polly
Said he My love, you've come too late
For I'm condemned already
Then Geordie walked around the court
And said farewell to many
But the leaving of his one true love
That grieved him worst of any
Let Geordie hang in golden chains
His crimes they were not many
He only shot a king's white deer
All for to feed his family
