“I wish I had you in a public square
    The whole town gathered around me
    With my broad sword and a pistol too
    I’d fight you for the life of my Geordie”
    
    I love Anais Mitchell's version of Child #209, 'Geordie', but I always felt it ended too soon. That last stanza ends on such a cliffhanger -- and here are my thoughts on what happened next, based a bit on other versions of the song but mostly on how I'd like the story to pan out.
