XVII.

Over the water, and over the lee,

And over the water to Charley.

Charley loves good ale and wine,

And Charley loves good brandy,

And Charley loves a pretty girl,

As sweet as sugar-candy.

Over the water, and over the sea,

And over the water to Charley,

I'll have none of your nasty beef,

Nor I'll have none of your barley;

But I'll have some of your very best flour;

To make a white cake for my Charley.
