McLean’s Welcome Songtext
von The McCalmans

Come o′er the stream, Charlie
Dear Charlie, brave Charlie
Come o'er the stream, Charlie
And dine with MacLean
And though you be weary
We′ll mak' your heart cheery
And welcome our Charlie
And his loyal train

We'll bring down the track deer, we′ll bring down the black steer
The lamb from the bracken and doe from the glen
The salt sea we′ll harry and bring to our Charlie
The cream from the bothy and curd from the pen


Come o'er the stream, Charlie
Dear Charlie, brave Charlie
Come o′er the stream, Charlie
And dine with MacLean
And though you be weary
We'll mak′ your heart cheery
And welcome our Charlie
And his loyal train

And you shall drink freely the dews of Glen-Sheerly
That stream in the starlight when kings dinna ken
And deep be your meed of the wine that is red
To drink to your sire, and his friend the MacLean

Come o'er the stream, Charlie
Dear Charlie, brave Charlie
Come o′er the stream, Charlie
And dine with MacLean
And though you be weary
We'll mak' your heart cheery
And welcome our Charlie
And his loyal train

If aught will invite you or more will delight you
′Tis ready a troop of our bold Highland men
All ranged on the heather, wi′ bonnet and feather
Strong arms and broad claymores, three hundred and ten


Come o'er the stream, Charlie
Dear Charlie, brave Charlie
Come o′er the stream, Charlie
And dine with MacLean
And though you be weary
We'll mak′ your heart cheery
And welcome our Charlie
And his loyal train
