Over the River to Feed My Sheep Songtext
von Jean Ritchie

Charlie′s neat, Charlie's sweet
Charlie he′s a dandy
Charlie, he's the very lad that stole my stripey candy

Over the river to feed my sheep
Over the river, Charlie
Over the river to feed my sheep
And to 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


Over the river to feed my sheep
Over the river, Charlie
Over the river to feed my sheep
And to measure up my barley

I don't want your wheat, don′t want your cheat
Neither do I want your barley
I′ll take a little of the best you've got 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 to measure up my barley
