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
