Lyrics:
Oh Charlie's neat, Charlie's sweet
Charlie is a dandy
And every time he goes to town
He brings me sugar candy
I don't want none of your weebly wheat
Don't want none of your barley
Just take some flour and in half an hour
You'll bake a cake for Charlie
It's Charlie here it's Charlie there
It's Charlie over the ocean
And Charlie he'll come back again
If he don't change his notion
My pretty little pink I once did think
I'll never do without you
But since I lost all hope with you
I care very little about you
How old are you my pretty little miss
How old are you my honey
If I don't die of a broken heart
I'll be sixteen on Sunday
My rink-timma-dink timma-diddle-lie-dum
Rink-timma-dink-timma-doo-doh
Rink-timma-dink timma-diddle-lie-dum
Rink-timma-dink timma-doo-doh
Now can you court my pretty little miss
Now can you court my flower
I'll court more in a minute and a half
Than you can in an hour
Oh rink-timma-dink timma-diddle-lie-dum
Rink-timma-dink-timma-doo-doh
Rink-timma-dink timma-diddle-lie-dum
Rink-timma-dink timma-doo-doh
Oh marry me my pretty little miss
Oh marry me good looking
I'll marry you but I won't do
Your washing or your cooking
Oh rink-timma-dink timma-diddle-lie-dum
Rink-timma-dink-timma-doo-doh
Rink-timma-dink timma-diddle-lie-dum
Rink-timma-dink timma-doo-doh
Oh Charlie he's a nice young man
Oh Charlie he's a dandy
And every time he goes to town
He brings me sugar candy
I don't want none of your weebly wheat
I don't want none of your barley
Just take some flour and in half an hour
You'll bake a cake for Charlie
It's Charlie here it's Charlie there
It's Charlie over the ocean
And Charlie he'll come back again
If he don't change his notion

In the Laura Ingalls Wilder series “Little house on the Prairie” (on the Banks of Plum Creek Chapter 41) Charles sings this song while he fiddles. Nice to hear all the lyrics! Thanks for posting.

Thank you for posting, you saved my life! I'm performing the monologue of Agnes when she sings this song tomorrow and I had absolutely no idea how to sing the song until I finally found this one... Thanx :)

Underrated

thank you for posting. I just read the play "Agnes of God" and this song is referenced. I wanted to hear what it was about or sounded like.
