Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

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 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
