Over The River Charlie - Traditional Folk Song - Banjo
Over The River Charlie is a traditional folk song. I tell a little story about the song before singing and playing it on the banjo clawhammer style. Elizabeth LaPrelle and Jake Book both perform this song exceptionally well.
Over The River Charlie - lyrics and notes
Banjo tuning (dADFsharpE)
Guitar chords - Am-G-Em (hold down Am chord throughout while picking out the melody)
Charlie's neat, Charlie's sweet
Charlie he's a dandy
Charlie he's the very lad
Who stole my stocking candy
(Chorus)
Over the river to feed my sheep
Over the river Charlie
Over the river to feed my sheep
And measure up my barley
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)
Your weevily wheat ain't fit to eat (I dont want your wheat I dont want your cheese)
Neither do I want your barley
I'll take a little of the best you've got (give me a little of the best you got)
To make a cake for Charlie (and I`ll bake a cake for Charlie)
(Chorus)
If you love me as I love you
There'll be no need to tarry
We'll have the old folks tearin' round
For you and I to marry
(Chorus)
Charlie here, Charlie there,
Charlie over the ocean
Charlie he'll come back someday
If he don't change his notion
(Chorus)
