Over the River To Feed My Sheep

adapted and arranged by Jean Ritchie

(Em)Over the river to feed my sheep
(D)Over the river (G)Charlie
(Em)Over the river to feed my sheep
And to (Am)measure up my (Em)barley
(Em)Charlie's neat, Charlie's sweet, and (D)Charlie he's a (G)dandy
(Em)Charlie, he's the very lad, that (Am) stole my striped (Em)candy

Chorus

My pretty little Pink, I once did think
I never could do without you
Since I lost all hopes of you
I care very little about you

chorus

Don't want your wheat, I don't want your cheat
And neither do I want your barley.
I'll take a little of the best you've got
To bake a cake for Charlie.
