OVER THE WATER TO CHARLIE



It's over the water, it's over the sea

It's over the water tae Charlie

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

To live or die wi Charlie



Come boat me over, come ferry me o'er

Come boat me over tae Charlie

Hear the call once but never again

To carry me over tae Charlie



O once I had sons, but now I've got nane

I treated them all sae sarely

But I would bear them all again

To live and die for Charlie



I swear by moon and stars sae bright

Sun that shines sae dearly

If I had twenty thousand lives

I'd live them all for Charlie



Come boat me o'er, come now or never

Come boat me o'er tae Charlie

I'll gie John Ross another bawbee

To ferry me o'er tae Charlie



It's well I lo'e me Charlie's name

Tho some there be abhor him

But O tae see Auld Nick gaun hame

And Charlie's face afore him
