OVER THE WATER TO CHARLEY

Reading edition

Illustration from The Big Book of Nursery Rhymes

Over the water, and over the lea, And over the water to Charley. Charley loves good ale and wine, And Charley loves good brandy; And Charley loves a pretty girl, As sweet as sugar-candy. Over the water, and over the sea, And over the water to Charley, I'll have none of your nasty beef, Nor I'll have none of your barley; But I'll have some of your very best flour, To make a white cake for my Charley.
