[Verse 1]As I walked over London BridgeOne misty morning earlyI heard some fair young maiden say"Lord, spare me the life of Georgie"Go saddle me up my milk white steedAnd bridle him so gailyThen I'll ride away to the King's High CourtAnd plead for the life of Georgie[Verse 2]She rode all day and she rode all night'Til she was wet and wearyThen combing back her long, yellow hairShe pled for the life of GeorgieShе pulled out a purse all filled with goldJust likе you've never seen manyAnd she said, "Young lawyers, fee yourselvesAnd plead for the life of Georgie"[Verse 3]But Georgie rode up and he pled for himselfHe says, "I never murdered anyBut I stole sixteen of the king's best steedsAnd I sold them in RomanyThen the oldest lawyer at the bar says"George, I'm sorry for youBut your own confession condemns you to dieMay the Lord have mercy upon you"[Verse 4]As Georgie was a-walking through the streetsHe bid farewell to manyThen he bid farewell to his own true loveWhich grieved him worse than anyIf I was over on yonder hillWhere kisses I've had a-plentyWith my sword and and my pistol by my sideI'd fight for the life of GeorgieGeorgie was hanged with a golden cordJust like you've never seen manyFor he was a member of the royal raceAnd loved by a virtuous lady
