Over The Water To Charlie lyrics

Come, boat me ower, come, row me ower,

Come, boat me ower to Charlie;

I'll gi'e John Ross another bawbee,

To ferry me ower to Charlie.

Chorus：

We'll over the water, and over the sea,

We'll over the water to Charlie;

Come weel, come woe, we'll gather and go,

And live and die wi' Charlie.

It's weel I lo'e my Charlie's name,

Though some there be that abhor him;

But O, to see Auld Nick gaun hame,

And Charlie's faes before him!

Chorus

I swear by moon and stars sae bricht,

And the sun that glances early,

If I had twenty thousand lives,

I'd gi'e them a' for Charlie.

Chorus

I ance had sons, I now ha'e nane;

I bred them, toiling sairly;

And I wad bear them a' again,

And lose them a' for Charlie!

Chorus
