[Cm] Oh we stole sixteen of the Lord Judge's deer and we
sold them [Gm] down under [C] the valley.
[Cm] Oh [Fm] saddle him up [C]
[Eb] cries my lily [C] white breast.
Oh saddle me up [Bb] cries [F] my pony [C] with bridegrooms in his hand [Eb] and a sword [C] at his side.
Would you [Fm] spare [Cm] me the life of [C] my Georgie?
I'm [Dm] George's [Gm] father to six [C] babes loud.
There's a seventh one [Gm] into [F] my body.
[C] But it's willing to [Ab] part with all I have got if [Fm] you'll [C] spare me the life of my Georgie.
[Cm] And George shall [Fm] be hanged in the [C] frames of gold.

[Cm] Wish you were stoned all [C] in the ground.
All in the [Gm] ground standing [F] ready.
[Cm] With bridegrooms in your hand and a sword at your side.
I'd [Fm] fight you for the [Gm] life of [C] my Georgie.
[Cm] Once I [Fm] had [Cm] such a [C] good little boy.
A pretty [Gm] boy quick as [F] handy.
[C] He would run five miles in one half an hour.
The ladder to [Eb] pardon [Cm] my Georgie.
