OVER the water, and over the sea,
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,

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.

Look to thyself,
Take care of thyself,
For nobody cares for thee.

I answered myself,
And said to myself,

Look to thyself,
Or not look to thyself,
The self-same thing will be.

Of an old nanny goat,

I wonder how they could do so!
With a ring a ting tang,
And a ring a ting tang,
Poor old Robinson Crusoe!

When he fell down, then down fel
