COme you lusty Northerne Lads, that are so blith and bonny, Prepare your hearts to be full sad, to heare the end of Georgy, Heigh ho, heigh-ho my bony love, heigh-ho, heigh ho my honny; Heigh-ho, heigh-ho my owne deare love and God be with my Georgie. When Georgie to his triall came, a thousand hearts were sorry, A thousand Lasses wept full sore, and all for love of Georgy. Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, my bony Love, heigho, etc. Some did say he would escape, some at his fall did glory: But these wers Clownes and fickle friends, and none that loved Georgy. Heigh-ho, etc. Might friends have satisfide the Law, then Gorgie would find many: Yet bravely did he plead for life, if mercy might be any. Heigh-ho, etc. But when this doughty Carle was cast he was full sad and sorry: Yet boldly did he take his death, so patiently dyde Georgie. Heigh-ho, etc.
As Georgie went up to the Gate, he tookd his leave of many: He tooke his leave of his Lards wife, whom ho lovd best of any. Heigh-ho, etc. With thousand sighs and heavy looks, away from thence he parted: Where he so often blith had beene, though now so heavy hearted. Heigh-ho, etc. He writ a Letter with his owne hand, he thought he writ it bravely: He sent it to New-castle Towne, to his beloved Lady. Heigh-ho, etc. Wherein he did at large bewaile, the occasion of his folly: Bequeathing life unto the Law, his soule to heaven holy: Heigh-ho, etc. Why Lady, leave to weepe for me, let not my ending grieve ye: Prove costant to the ney you love, for I cannot releeve yee. Hiegh ho, etc. Out upon the Withrington, and fie upon the Phoenix: Thou hast put downe the doughty one that stole the sheepe from Anix.

ANd fie on all such cruell Carles, whose cruelties so fickle: To cast away a Gentleman in hatred for so little. Heigh-ho heigh ho, my bonny Love; heigh-ho, etc. I would I were on yonder Hill, where I have beene full merry: My sword and buckeler by my side to fight till I be weary. Heigh-ho etc. They well, should know that tooke mee first though whoops be now forsaken: Had I but freedome, armes, and health, Ide dye, are Ide be taken. Heigh-ho etc. But Law comdemns me to my grave, they have me in their power: Thers none but Christ that can mee save, at this my dying houre. Heigh-ho. etc He calld his dearest love to him, when as his heart wae sorry: And speaking thus with manly heart, Deare sweeting, pray for Georgie. Heigh-ho, etc. He gave to her a piece of gold, and bade her givet her Barnes: And oft he kist her rosie lips, and laid him into her armes. Heigh-ho, etc.
And comming to the place of death, he never changed colour. The more they thought he would looks pale, the more his veines were fuller. Heigh-ho, etc. And with a cheerefull countenance, (being at that time entreated For to confesse his former life) these-words he straight repeated. Heigh-ho etc. I never stole no Ore nor Cow, nor never murdered any: But fifty Horse I did receive of a Merchants man of Gory. Heigh-ho, etc. For which I am condemnd to dye, though guiltlesse I stand dying: Deare gracious God, my soule receive for now my life is flying. Heigh-ho, etc. The man of death a part did act, which grieves mee tell the story. God comfort all are comfortlesse, and did so well as Georgie. Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, my bonny Love, heigh-ho heigh-my bonny, Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, mine own true lov[e] sweet Christ receive my Georgie.
