COME boat me o'er, come row me o'er,
Come boat me o'er to Charlie;
I'll gie John Ross another bawbee,
To ferry me o'er to Charlie.
We'll o'er the water and o'er the sea,
We'll o'er the water to Charlie;
Come weal, come woe,
We'll gather and go,
And live and die wi' Charlie.
I swear by moon and stars sae bright,
And the sun that glances early,
If I had twenty thousand lives,
I'd risk them a' for Charlie.
We'll o'er the water...
I once had sons, I now hae nane,
I bred them toiling sairly;
And I wad bear them a' again,
And lose them a' for Charlie.
We'll o'er the water...
