Oh, ^DCharlie ^Dhe’s ^Da fin^De young man^D, Oh, Charli^De he’^As a ^Adandy. ^GCharlie ^Dlikes to ^Dkiss the ^Ggirls, and ^Dhe can^D do it ^Dhand^Dy.

Chorus:

I d^Don’t wan^Dt none of you^Dr weevil^Dy wheat, ^DI don’t w^Dant none of y^Aour b^Aarley. ^GI want ^Dfine flour in ^Dhalf an ^Ghour to ba^Dke a ca^Dke for ^DCharli^De.

Chorus

Ov^Der the ri^Dver to fe^Ded my s^Dheep, o^Dver the ri^Dver, C^Aharli^Ae, ^GOver the^D river to ^Dfeed my s^Gheep, and^D measure^D up my ^Dbarley^D.

Chorus

The ^Dhigher up^D the c^Dherry ^Dtree, the r^Diper g^Drow the c^Aherri^Aes, The ^Gmore you h^Dug and ^Dkiss the ^Ggirls, the ^Dsooner ^Dthey will^D marr^Dy.

Chorus

^DTake her ^Dby the ^Dlily white ^Dhand, ^Dlead her l^Dike a^A pige^Aon, ^GMake her ^Ddance th^De weevily w^Gheat, a^Dnd scat^Dter her^D relig^Dion.

Chorus Strum pattern: I use DDUUDU except for the G D D G parts, where I use a rapid DDU for each chord. As with many folk songs, there are many versions. I like this one because it is not only traditional, but also has delightfully ambiguous lyrics.
