B. Go Saddle Me- Mary van Wormser (MO) 1909 Belden B; "As sung by her grandfather."
'Go saddle me my milk white steeds,
And bridle them so neat,
That I ride to Newcastle gate,
And beg for the life of Georgie.'
George shall be hung in golden chains
For he is more bolder than any;
He stole sixteen of the King's milk white steeds
And sold them to his Janie [1].
