OVER the water and over the lea, And over the water to Charlie. Charlie loves good ale and wine, And Charlie loves good brandy, And Charlie loves a pretty girl As sweet as sugar candy. Over the water and over the lea, And over the water to Charlie. 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 Charlie. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CHAMBER MUSIC: 31 by JAMES JOYCE LONELY BURIAL by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET CONTRA MORTEM: THE BEING by HAYDEN CARRUTH LOVE'S MIRACLE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON MATE (1) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON OMNIPRESENCE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON TO-MORROW TO FRESH WOODS AND PASTURES NEW' by AMY LOWELL CONSECRATED GROUND; READ AT THE NEW YORK CITY HALL by EDWIN MARKHAM |
