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
