As I rode out over London Bridge
G
On a misty morning early
C G F G
I overheard a fair pretty maid
F C F
A cryin' for the life of Geordie
C G F C
"Go bridle to me a milk white steed
G
Bridle to me a pony
C G F G
And I'll ride down to London town
F C F
And I'll plead for the life of Geordie"
Em Dm7 C
"For he never stole ox, he never stole ass
G
He never murdered any
Am G F G
He stole sixteen of the King's royal deer
F Am Em F
And he sold them in Bohenny"
C G F C
But when she rode down and in the King's Hall
G
There were lords and ladies plenty
C G F G
Down on her bended knees she did fall
F C F
And she begged for the life of Geordie
C G F C
Crying, "Six pretty babes I've had by him
G
Another one lies in my body
C G F G
Freely I'd part with each one of them
F C F
If you'll give me the life of Geordie"
Em Dm7 C
"For he never stole ox, he never stole ass
G
He never murdered any
Am G F G
He stole sixteen of the King's royal deer
F Am Em F
And he sold them in Bohenny"
C G F C
But the judge looked over his left shoulder
G
He cried, "I'm sorry for thee
C G F G
My pretty fair maid you've come too late
F C F
For he's been condemned already"
C G F C
"Oh, me Geordie shall hang in a chain of gold
G
Such chains as never was any
C G F G
Because he came of the royal blood
F C F
And he courted a fine young lady"
Em Dm7 C
"For he never stole ox, he never stole ass
G
He never murdered any
Am G F G
He stole sixteen of the King's royal deer
F Am Em F
And he sold them in Bohenny"
C G F C
"Oh, I wish I had you in yonder grove
G
Where times I have been many
C G F G
With my broad sword and a pistol too
F C F
I'd fight for the life of Geordie"
