Jim's Giant Harmonica Songbook
Weevilly Wheat
7 7 7 -8-8 8 7 7 7
Over the river to feed my sheep,
6 7 7 7 -8 -8 8 7 7
And over the river to Charley.
7 7 7 -8-8 8 7 7 7
Over the river to feed my sheep,
9 8 8 -8 8 7 7
And measure out my barley.
Chorus:
6 7 7 -8 -8 8 7 7 7 7
I won't have none of your weevilly wheat.
6 7 7 -7 -7 7 7 7
I won't have none of your barley.
6 7 7 -8 -8 8 8 8 -8
I'd take a chance on your fine white flour
7 -7 6 -6 -7 7 7
To bake a cake for Charley.
Oh, Charley he's a nice young man,
Charley he's a dandy.
He always likes to kiss the girls
Whenever he finds them handy. chorus
Oh, who's been here since Ive been gone
Across the fields of barley?
A sweet little girl with a white dress on
Across the fields of barley. chorus
The higher up the cherry tree
The riper are the cherries.
The sooner the boy couts the girl,
The sooner they will marry. chorus
The higher up the cherry tree
The redder grow the cherries.
The more you hug and kiss the girls,
The sooner they will marry. chorus.
