[00:08.237]As I walked out over London bridge
[00:14.607]One misty morning, early
[00:20.455]I overheard a fair pretty maid
[00:26.293]Was lamenting for her Geordie
[00:32.072]
[00:35.465]"Oh, my Geordie will be hanged in a golden chain
[00:42.375]'Tis not the chain of many
[00:47.948]He was born of King's royal breed
[00:53.800]And lost to a virtuous lady"
[00:58.837]
[01:04.422]"Go bridle me my milk-white steed
[01:09.995]Go bridle me my pony
[01:15.046]I will ride to London's court
[01:21.154]To plead for the life of Geordie"
[01:27.268]
[01:29.078]"Ah, my Geordie never stole nor cow, nor calf
[01:37.044]He never hurted any
[01:42.351]Stole sixteen of the King's royal deer
[01:47.934]And he sold them in Bohenny"
[01:53.240]
[01:56.103]"Two pretty babies have I born
[02:01.144]The third lies in my body
[02:06.727]I'd freely part with them every one
[02:12.299]If you'd spare the life of Geordie"
[02:18.337]
[02:23.577]The judge looked over his left shoulder
[02:30.491]He said, "Fair maid, I'm sorry"
[02:35.534]Said, "Fair maid, you must be gone
[02:41.648]For I cannot pardon Geordie"
[02:48.551]
[02:50.090]"Oh, my Geordie will be hanged in a golden chain
[02:57.791]'Tis not the chain of many
[03:02.567]Stole sixteen of King's royal deer
[03:08.150]And he sold them in Bohenny"
