Georgie Lyrics - Hall & 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
