Come boat me over
           A           E
Come carry me o'er
          E            B
Come boat me over
      A    E
To Charlie

I hear the bell once
But never again
To carry me over
To Charlie

Come over the water
Come over the sea
Come over the water
To Charlie

Come will, come woe
Come gather and go
To live or die
for Charlie

I swear by the stars
And the moon so bright
I swear by the sun
So dearly

That if I had
Ten thousand lives
I'd give them all
To Charlie

Come over the water
Come over the sea
Come over the water
To Charlie

Come will, come woe
Come gather and go
To live or die
for Charlie

Once I had sons
Now I've got none
I treated them
So sorely

But if I had
Them back again
I'd give them all
To Charlie

Come over the water
Come over the sea
Come over the water
To Charlie

Come will, come woe
Come gather and go
To live or die
for Charlie

Come over the water
Come over the sea
Come over the water
To Charlie
