O'er the water to charlie

Come boat me o'er, come row me o'er
Come boat me o'er to Charlie
I'll gie John Ross another bawbee
Tae ferry me o'er to Charlie

CHORUS :

We'll o'er the water, we'll o'er the sea
We'll o'er the water to Charlie
Come weel, come woe, we'll gather and go
And live or die wi Charlie

I swear by moon and stars so bright
And sun that glances early
If I had twenty thousand lives
I'd gie them a' for Charlie

CHORUS

Aince I had sons but now I hae nane
I bred them toiling sairly
And I would bear them a' again
And lose them a' for Charlie

CHORUS
