Loading...

[verse 1]
oh, as i roved out over london bridge
on a misty mornin’ early
was there i spied a fair pretty maid
who cried for the life of her geordie

[verse 2]
saying, “saddle for me a milk white steed
saddle for me a pony
and i’ll ride down into london town
to beg for the life of my geordie”

[chorus]
“for, he never stole ox, he never stole ass
he never murdered any
he stole sixteen of the king’s wild deer
all for to feed his family”

[verse 5]
and when she came into the king’s hall
there were lords and ladies plenty
down on her knee she did fall
to beg for the life of her geordie

[verse 6]
sayin, “six pretty babes had i by him
‘nother one lies in my body
and i would part with each one of them
if you’d give to me my geordie”
[chorus]
“for, he never stole ox, he never stole ass
he never murdered any
he stole sixteen of the king’s wild deer
all for to feed his family”

[instrumental break]

[verse 8]
but the judge looked over his left shoulder
he says, “i am sorry for thee
fair maid you’ve come too late
for he’s been condemned already”

[verse 8]
“well, me geordie shall be hung in chains of gold, such
chains as ne’er were any
because he came of the royal blood
and he courted a fine lady

[verse 9]
and i wish i was yonder grove
where times i have been many
my broadsword and my pistol too
would fight ya for the life of my geordie
[chorus]
“for, he never stole ox, he never stole ass
he never murdered any
he stole sixteen of the king’s wild deer
all for to feed his family”

[chorus]
he never stole ox, no he never stole ass
he never murdered any
he stole sixteen of the king’s wild deer
all for to feed his family
all for to feed his family
all for to feed his family”
