Though this song is in the Museum, p. 145, Bums' name is not attached to it. Mr. Allan Cunningham says, "some of the lines are old, and some are from the pen of Burns. The second stanza is his, and most of the third." 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 wi' Charlie! BRAW LADS OF GALLA WATER. TUNE--' GALLA WATER.' CHOBUS. (RAW, braw lads of Galla Water; 0 braw lads of Galla Water: I'll kilt my coats aboon my knee, And follow my love through the water. This song was published in the Musical Museum, p. 181, but without the name of the author. The following very different version was sent by Burns to Thomson's Collection in January, 1793, where it occurs (vol. i p. 11, ) with his name: Braw braw lads on Yarrow braes, Ye wander through the blooming heather; But Yarrow braes, nor Ettrick shaws, Can match the lads o' Galla Water. But there is ane, a secret ane, Aboon them a' I lo'e him better; And I'll be his, and he'll be mine, The bonie lad o' Galla Water.

It ne'er was wealth, it ne'er was wealth, That coft contentment, peace, or pleasure; The bauds and bliss o' mutual love, 0 that's the chiefest warld's treasure. Sae fair her hair, sae brent her brow, Sae bonny blue her een, my dearie; Sae white her teeth, sae sweet her mou', The mair I kiss she's ay my dearie. O'er yon bank and o'er yon brae, O'er yon moss amang the heather; I'll kilt my coats aboon my knee, And follow my love through the water. Down amang the broom, the broom, Down ...
