12. "Geordie" (Geordie, Child 209) [16]
12.1. Roger W. Pease of Morgantown learned this as a boy in Massachusetts from his mother and aunt (see Ex. 18).
(1) Oh, saddle me my milk-white steed;
Oh, saddle me my pony;
For tonight I ride to London Town
To fight for the life of Geordie.
(2) Oh, Geordie stole nor cow nor calf;
His crimes were never many;
But he stole sixteen of the king's white steeds
And he sold them in Bohemy.
