Testo Geordie Sandy Denny
As I walked under london bridge
One misty morning early,
I overheard a fair, pretty maid,
Lamenting for her geordie.
ââmy geordie will be hanged with a golden chain,
âtis not the chain of many.
He stole sixteen of the kingâs royal deer
And he sold them in boeny.ââ
ââgo saddle me my milk white steed
Go saddle me my pony
That I may ride to londonâs courts
To plead for the life of geordie.ââ
ââmy geordie never hurt a man nor calf
He never hurted any
He stole sixteen of the kingâs royal deer
And he sold them in boeny.ââ
ââtwo pretty babies have I borne,
The third lies in my body,
And I would part with them every one,
If you pardon my dear geordie.ââ
But the judge looked over his left shoulder,
He said, ââfair maid, Iâm sorry,
I cannot pardon the one you love,
He has been hanged already.ââ
