From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide]:

  Gee \Gee\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. {Geed}; p. pr. & vb. n.
     {Geeing}.]
     1. To agree; to harmonize. [Colloq. or Prov. Eng.] --Forby.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. [Cf. G. j["u], interj., used in calling to a horse, It.


        gi[`o], F. dia, used to turn a horse to the left.] To turn
        to the off side, or from the driver (i.e., in the United
        States, to the right side); -- said of cattle, or a team;
        used most frequently in the imperative, often with off, by
        drivers of oxen, in directing their teams, and opposed to
        {haw}, or hoi. [Written also {jee}.]
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: In England, the teamster walks on the right-hand side
           of the cattle; in the United States, on the left-hand
           side. In all cases, however, gee means to turn from the
           driver, and haw to turn toward him.
           [1913 Webster]
  
     {Gee ho}, or {Gee whoa}. Same as {Gee}.
        [1913 Webster]
