Georgie

Georgie - Daryl Hall & John Oates

Written by：Arif Mardin/Whole Oates

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 noon time

Floating 'cross the field

Georgie heard the peal

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 waited 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've 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
