As I walked outer the London's bridge One misty morning early I overheard a fair pretty maid Was lamenting for her Geordie My Geordie will be hanged in a golden chain It's not the chain of many Cos' he was born by the King's royal breed And lost to a virtuous lady Go bridle me my milk white steed Go bridle me my pony Cos' I will ride to London's court To plead for the life of my Geordie –Solo– My Geordie never stole nor cow nor calf He never murdered any He 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 them with everyone If you'd spare the life of Geordie –Solo 2– 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 For I cannot pardon Geordie No I cannot pardon Geordie
