Now as I rode out of [A] London Bridge on a misty [E] morning early
[A] I overran a fair pretty maid who cried for the [D] life of a Geordie
God bridled to me a milk [A]-white [E] steed, bridled me a pony
[A] I'll ride down to London town and I'll plead for the [D] life of me Geordie
For he never stole ox, he never [A] stole ass, he never [B] burned a [E] denny
[A] He stole sixteen of the king's wild deer, he sold them in [D] a wet meek
_ _ [C#m] _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _
[A] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] But when she rode down and in the [A] king's hall there were lords and ladies [E] plenty
[A] Down on her bent knee she fall and she begged for the life [D] of a Geordie
Cried six pretty babes I had [Am] by him, another [E] one lies in me body
[A] Freely and hard with each one of them if you'll give me the life [D] of me Geordie
For he never stole ox, [A] he never stole ass, he never [D] burned a [E] denny
[A] He stole sixteen of the king's wild deer, he sold them in [D] a wet _ meek
_ [C#m] _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] But the judge looked over his left [A] shoulder, he cries I'm sorry [E] for thee
[A] Me pretty fair maid you come too late for he's been condemned [D] already
Oh me Geordie shall hang in the chain [A] of God, such changeless never [E] was any
[A] Because he came of the royal blood and he courted a fine [D] young lady
Oh he never stole ox, he never [A] stole ass, [E] he [Am] never [E] burned a denny
[A] He stole sixteen of the king's wild deer, he sold them in [D] a wet meek
Oh _ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
I wish I had you in the [A] undergrove where times I [E] have been many
[A] With my broad sword and a [E] pistol too [A] I'd fight you for the [D] life of me Geordie
For he never stole ox, he [A] never stole ass, he never burned a [E] denny
[A] He stole sixteen of the king's wild deer, he sold them in a [D] wet meek
