Come Boat Me O'Er To Charlie.

Tune - "O'er the water to Charlie."


I.

    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 boat 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 or die wi' Charlie.

II.

    I lo'e weel my Charlie's name,
        Tho' some there be abhor him:
    But O, to see auld Nick gaun hame,
        And Charlie's faes before him!

III.

    I swear and vow by moon and stars,
        And sun that shines so early,
    If I had twenty thousand lives,
        I'd die as aft for 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 or die wi' Charlie!
