Georgie Lyrics

Georgie lyrics

Georgie was a skinny kid



 Fond of angling, fonder of dangling his feet in the cool



 brook water



 While the Reverend's daughter



 Sat at his side and fluttered his face with the fuzz of a



 dandelion.



 



 Long about noontime



 Floating 'cross the field, Georgie heard the peel of a bell



 being rung by the parson



 Time for his lesson



 As much as he hated it, the preacher was teachin' him to



 play the accordion.



 



 "Don't go Georgie!" said the Reverend's daughter



 "When Daddy comes lookin' we can duck in the water."



 They both went out and dipped down to hide



 But the girl caught her locket on an underwater branch



 and the next thing she knew... she died



 



 Preacher was a sorry mess



 He was cryin', shoutin' 'bout her dyin' and livin' the



 eternal life



 Should 'a seen his wife



 Sobbin' on the ground as the wind rustled round



 and tickled the keys



 Made Georgie's accordion give an awful dyin' wheeze
