Child 209
Geordie
Version L

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

Narrative

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.
