lyrics

Once I had such a good little boy
A pretty boy quick as any
He could run five miles in one half an hour
A letter to pardon my Georgie

For what has Georgie done in Shooters Hill
Is it steeling or murdering any?
Oh he stole sixteen of the lord judges deer
And sold them down under the valley

O Saddle me up cried my lily-white breast
O Saddle me up to my pony
With bright guns in my hands and a sword at my side
I’ll fight you for the life of my Georgie

And Georgie's fathered six babes loved
And Georgie's fathered six babes loved
There's a seventh one into my body
But i'm willing to part with all I have got
If you'll spare me the life of my Georgie

And George shall be hanged in the frames of gold
And the frames of gold you won't find many
But i'm willing to part with all I have got
If you'll spare me the life of my Georgie

Spare me the life of my Georgie
Fight for the life of my Georgie
Spare me the life of my Georgie



For what has Georgie done on Shooter's Hill
Was it stealing or murdering any?
Oh he stole sixteen of the lord judge's deer
And sold them down under the valley

Once I had such a good little boy
A pretty boy quick as any
He could run five miles in one half an hour
A letter to pardon my Georgie
