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 '11 have none of your nasty beef,
Nor I '11 have none of your barley;
But I '11 have some of your very best flour,
To make a white cake for my Charley.
