As I walked out over London Bridge
On a misty morning early
I overheard a fair pretty maid
Crying for the life of her Geordie
"Saddle me a milk white steed
Bridle me a pony
I’ll ride down to London town
And I’ll beg for the life of my Geordie”
And when she came to the courthouse steps
The poor folks numbered many
A hundred crowns she passed around
Saying, “Pray for the life of my Geordie”
“He never stole a mule or a mare
He never murdered any
If he shot one of the king’s wild deer
It was only to feed his family”
And then she strode through the marble hall
Before the judge and the jury
Down on her bended knee she falls
Crying for the life of her Geordie
“He never stole, he never slew
He never murdered any
He never injured any of you
Spare me the life of my Geordie”
