I wish I'd been married
to Geordie!
I wish Geordie'd been
married to me!
For he courted me
weekly for nearly ten years,
then left me to drift
like a raft on the sea.
I really don't know
what induced him,
To trifle with me,
what a sin!
He went and he married
another,
And left me to sink
or to swim.
Chorus
I wish I had someone
to love me,
Someone to call me
his doo (dove)
Someone to say "Love
come away!"
But it has na' come
od up till noo!
Verse 2
He took me one day
to a picnic,
And he boil'd me some
tea in a tin,
Then coaxed me to
three lumps of sugar, and then
He kiss'd me, then
asked me if I would kiss him.
I really felt shy
when he asked me,
But I kiss'd him once
on the broo..
When I think on't
my mouth often waters,
In fact froen's, it's
wat'ry the noo.
Chorus
Verse 3
He trifled wi' my young
affections;
He told me a terrible
lie;
He said that my face
was a picture and that
He'd be just as true
as the stars in the sky.
Oh! I weep when I
think on his conduct,
He use to come round
ev'ry night,
And treat me to pancakes
and treacle,
And call me his lump
of delight.
Chorus
