OVER THE WATER TO CHARLIE, by ANONYMOUS First Line: Over the water and over the lea Last Line: To make a white cake for my charlie | |||
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..."'TIS MIDNIGHT, AND THE SETTING SUN" by ANONYMOUS "'TWAS ROLLOG, AND THE MINIM POTES" by ANONYMOUS 1648 : FOR COSSACKS by ANONYMOUS A CHERRY YEAR / A MERRY YEAR by ANONYMOUS A COMET FROM THE RHYMERS' CLUB AFAR by ANONYMOUS "A FOX, A FOX, UP GALLANTS TO THE FIELDS" by ANONYMOUS A HORSE AND A FLEA AND THREE BLIND MICE by ANONYMOUS "A LAIRD, A LORD / A COOPER, A THIEF" by ANONYMOUS A LITTLE COCK SPARROW SAT ON A GREEN TREE by ANONYMOUS |
