Over the water and over the lea,

a
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.

b
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.
