Thread Name: Lyr Req: Charlie (Andy Roberts)
Subject: Lyr Add: CHARLIE (Andy Roberts)
Now here are the words you requested. I have boldfaced the words that are different from the previous version:
CHARLIE
As sung by Andy Roberts on "Urban Cowboy" (2012)
1. Charlie's neat and Charlie's sweet
And Charlie he's a dandy.
Charlie he's the very one
That stole my stripèd* candy.
CHORUS: Over the river to feed my sheep,
And over the river, Charlie,
Over the river to feed my sheep
And to measure up my barley.
2. Don't want your wheat, don't want your cheat,
And neither do I want your barley,
But I'll take a little of the best you've got
To bake a cake for Charlie. CHORUS
3. My pretty little thing, I scarce could think
That I could do without you.
But when I found it weren't no use,
I cared very little about you. CHORUS
REPEAT VERSE 1. CHORUS.
* I don't know what word or phrase he is singing here. It sounds like "strength of" but that makes no sense to me. I would stick with "stripèd" if I wanted to sing this song.
