Geordie

GEORDIE—L

[_]

Cunningham's Songs of Scotland, II, 186, 188; “from the recitation of Mrs Cunningham.”

1

And soon she came to the water broad,
Nor boat nor barge was ready;
She turned her horse's head to the flood,
And swam through at Queensferry.

2

But when she to the presence came,
'Mang earls high and lordlie,
There hat on head sat every man,
While hat in hand stood Geordie.
