Georgie Songtext
von Harry Cox

As I walked over London Bridge
One midsummer morning early
There I beheld a fair lady
Lamenting for a Georgie

I pray can you find me a little boy
Who can go an errand swiftly
Who can go ten miles in one hour
With a letter for a lady

Now come saddle me my best black horse
Come saddle it quite swiftly
That I may ride to the king′s castle goal
And beg the life of my Georgie

So when she got to the castle door
The prisoners stood many
They all stood round with their caps in their hands
Excepting a bonny bonny Georgie


Now my Georgie never stole neither horse nor cow
Nor done any harm to any
He stole sixteen of the king's fat dares
Which grieves me most of any

Now six pretty babes that were born by him
The seventh lay at my bosom
I would freely part with six of them
To spare the life of my Georgie

Now the judge he looked over his left shoulder
He seemed so very hard-hearted
He said fair lady you are too late
Your Georgie is condemned already

Now my Georgie shall be hanged in the chains of gold
Such gold as they don′t hang many
Because he come of the royal blood
And courted a very rich lady

Now my Georgie shall be hanged in the chains of gold
Such gold as you don't see any
And on his tombstone these words shall be wrote
Here lies the heart of a lady
