John Anderson my jo, John,
We've seen our bairns' bairns,
And yet, my dear John Anderson,
I'm happy in your arms;
And sae are ye in mine, John--
I'm sure ye'll ne'er say No,
Tho' the days are gane that we hae seen,
John Anderson my jo.

Come boat me o'er to Charlie.
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 for Charlie.
Come boat me o'er to Charlie;

We'll o'er the water to Charlie;
Come weal, come woe, we'll gather and go,
And live or die for Charlie.
loe well my Charlie's name,
Though some there be abhor him;
But oh, to see auld Nick gaun hame,
And Charlie's foes before him!
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.
