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...AFAR IN THE DESERT by THOMAS PRINGLE EASTER 1916 by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE MOUNTAIN TOMB: 1.
