[Verse 1]

As I walked over London Bridge

One misty morning early

I heard some fair young maiden say

"Lord, spare me the life of Georgie"

Go saddle me up my milk white steed

And bridle him so gaily

Then I'll ride away to the King's High Court

And plead for the life of Georgie

[Verse 2]

She rode all day and she rode all night

'Til she was wet and weary

Then combing back her long, yellow hair

She pled for the life of Georgie

Shе pulled out a purse all filled with gold

Just likе you've never seen many

And she said, "Young lawyers, fee yourselves

And plead for the life of Georgie"

[Verse 3]

But Georgie rode up and he pled for himself

He says, "I never murdered any

But I stole sixteen of the king's best steeds

And I sold them in Romany

Then the oldest lawyer at the bar says

"George, I'm sorry for you

But your own confession condemns you to die

May the Lord have mercy upon you"

[Verse 4]

As Georgie was a-walking through the streets

He bid farewell to many

Then he bid farewell to his own true love

Which grieved him worse than any

If I was over on yonder hill

Where kisses I've had a-plenty

With my sword and and my pistol by my side

I'd fight for the life of Georgie

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
