Now Charlie was a farmer's son who used to feed the sows
And Mary was a country gal who used to milk the cows
And every time that Mary went with Charlie to the brae
She knew the guy was awful shy and teased him every day
Chase me Charlie through the barley in the afternoon
Chase me Charlie through the barley by the light of the moon
Chase me Charlie through the barley, if you catch me soon
You'll be married to me Charlie by the first of June
ย
Now Charlie to the dance he went to hear the fiddles play
And there was Mary from the dairy dancing cares away
And when she grabbed him by the arm his face it turned to red
He hollered, "Woe, let me go!" but this is what she said
Chase me Charlie through the barley in the afternoon
Chase me Charlie through the barley by the light of the moon
Chase me Charlie through the barley, if you catch me soon
You'll be married to me Charlie by the first of June
ย
Charlie in the morning went to fetch a load of hay
And there was Mary quite contrary standing in his way
And when she called him rooster face she knew the deed was done
She up and away to the barley field as fast as she could run
There was Charlie chasing Mary all the afternoon
There was Charlie chasing Mary by the light of the moon
And Mary, Mary quite contrary sings a different tune
'Cause she got married to her Charlie, now they're bride and groom
ย
Chase me Charlie through the barley in the afternoon
Chase me Charlie through the barley by the light of the moon
Chase me Charlie through the barley, if you catch me soon
You'll be married to me Charlie by the first of June
And she got married to her Charlie now they're bride and groom
