Charlie's neat and Charlie's sweet And Charlie he's a dandy. Charlie he's the very lad 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. 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 3. 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 got To bake a cake for Charlie. CHORUS |

09 Sep 13 - 12:11 AM (#3557324) Subject: Lyr Add: CHARLIE (Andy Roberts) From: Jim Dixon 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. |
