Little Georgie Baker
(Louie Ortega)

Little Georgie Baker, loved Laura more than he could explain
Laura loved her Georgie, borne his child
But not through wedlock had he come
Georgie loved his baby, loved his child's mother
And that is why little Georgie Baker
Loved Laura more than he could explain

Georgie asked his good friend
Gil Magowe where his Laura might be found
Gil Magowe told Georgie
She's straight for the river with your baby bound
Bound for that river, river where Laura and Georgie loved
Georgie's pace did hasten
As he thought of his love Laura with his son

Run Georgie, run Georgie down by the banks of the river
Your Laura cries, you don't understand
Run Georgie, run Georgie down by the banks of the river
Your Laura cries, you don't understand

Little Georgie Baker, loved Laura more than he could explain
laura loved her Georgie, borne his child
But not through wedlock had he come
Goergie loved his baby, loved his child's mother
And that is why little Georgie Baker
Loved Laura more than he could explain

Run Georgie, run Georgie down by the banks of the river
Your Laura cries, you don't understand
Run Georgie, run Georgie down by the banks of the river
Your Laura cries, you don't understand

You don't understand
You don't understand
You don't understand
