Geordie chords by Willos'
Verse 1
D
There was a battle in the north,
and nobles there were many.
And they have killed Sir Charlie Hay
and lay the blame on Geordie.
Oh, he has written a long letter
and sent it to his lady.
You must come up to Edinburgh town
to see what news of Geordie.
When first she lugged the letter on,
She was both red and rosy.
She had not read a word but what,
She grew pale as the lily.
Go fetch to me my good Grace Steed,
My men shall all go with me,
For I shall neither eat nor drink,
Till Ludinburgh town shall
G

see me.

And Geordie coming down the stairs,
with bands of iron upon him.

of iron and steel so heavy.

and give her back her dearie
Some gave her marks,
some gave her crowns,

She's counted up five thousand pounds
and won the life of Geordie
Oh, she looked blithe in Geordie's face,

But the blood would have

flowed upon the green
before I lost my laddie
