Lyrics:

Chorus:
Come o'er the stream Charlie, dear Charlie, brave Charlie
Come o'er the stream Charlie and dine with MacLean
And though ye be weary we'll mak' yer heart cheery
And welcome our Charlie and his loyal train

We'll bring doon the red deer; we'll bring doon the black steer
The lamb frae the bracken and the doe frae the ben
The salt sea we'll harry and bring to our Charlie
The cream frae the bothy and the curd frae the pen

Chorus:
Come o'er the stream Charlie, dear Charlie, brave Charlie
Come o'er the stream Charlie and dine with MacLean
And though ye be weary we'll mak' yer heart cheery
And welcome our Charlie and his loyal train

And you will drink freely the dews o' Glen Sheerly
That in the starlight when kings dinnae ken
And deep be your mead o' the win that is red
To drink to your sire and his friend the MacLean

Chorus:
Come o'er the stream Charlie, dear Charlie, brave Charlie
Come o'er the stream Charlie and dine with MacLean
And though ye be weary we'll mak' yer heart cheery
And welcome our Charlie and his loyal train

If aught will invite ye or more can delight ye
It's ready a troop of our bold hielan' men
They'll range on the heather with bayonet and feather
Strong arms and broad claymores three hundred and ten

Chorus:
Come o'er the stream Charlie, dear Charlie, brave Charlie
Come o'er the stream Charlie and dine with MacLean
And though ye be weary we'll mak' yer heart cheery
And welcome our Charlie and his loyal train
