Chorus.
Come o’er the stream Charlie, dear Charlie, brave Charlie
Come o’er the stream Charlie, and dine wi MacLean
And though ye be weary, we’ll mak yer heart cheery
And welcome oor Charlie and his loyal train
We’ll bring doon the red deer, we’ll bring doon the black steer
The lamb fae the brecken and the doe fae the glen
The salt sea we’ll harry and bring to oor Charlie
The cream fae the bothy, the curd fae the pen
Come o’er the stream Charlie, dear Charlie, brave Charlie
Come o’er the stream Charlie, and dine wi MacLean
And though ye be weary, we’ll mak yer heart cheery
And welcome oor Charlie and his loyal train
And you shall drink freely the dews of Glensheerly
That stream in the starlight, where kings dinna ken
And deep be your meed of the wine that is red
Tae drink to your sire and his friend the MacLean
It ought to invite you, or more will delight you
Tis ready a troop of our bold Highland men
Shall range on the heather, with bayonet and feather
Strong arms and broad claymores, three hundred and ten
