Georgie Porgie is a beloved traditional English rhyme. The first known record of its existence is in the Kentish Coronal which you can view here which was printed in 1841.
Porgie was spelt as Peorgy in the book which has been digitized by Google and there is a wealth of information about the possible meanings behind the ballad as it is called if you are interested in reading about it!
In some texts, it is noted that the rhyme was recorded by James Orchard Halliwell first, but it does not appear until 1853 in his printed collection of The Nursery Rhymes of England, 5th Edition. However, the lyrics are changed and Georgy Porgy is Rowley Powley!
Like other nursery rhymes, there are different song versions with a few alterations in the lyrics.
Lyrics for Georgie Porgie Nursery Rhyme
Georgie Porgie pudding and pie,
Kissed the girls and made them cry
When the boys came out to play,
Georgie Porgie ran away.
Alternative Version as recorded in The Nursery Rhmes of England, 5th Edition
Rowley Powley, pudding and pie,
Kissed the girls and made them cry;
When the girls began to cry,
Rowley Powley runs away.
