Oh, Charlie he's a fine young man, Oh, Charlie he's a dandy. Charlie likes to kiss the girls, and he can do it handy. I don't want none of your weevily wheat, I don't want none of your barley. I want fine flour in half an hour to bake a cake for Charlie. Over the river to feed my sheep, over the river, Charlie, Over the river to feed my sheep, and measure up my barley. The higher up the cherry tree, the riper grow the cherries, The more you hug and kiss the girls, the sooner they will marry. Take her by the lily white hand, lead her like a pigeon, Make her dance the weevily wheat, and scatter her religion. Strum pattern: I use DDUUDU except for the parts, where I use a rapid DDU for each chord. As with many folk songs, there are many versions. I like this one because it is not only traditional, but also has delightfully ambiguous lyrics.
