Over The Water To Charlie

Jig · 6/8 · G major

Over the Water to Charlie is a traditional Scottish and Irish 6/8 jig in G major with an uncertain exact origin, though its title refers to the Jacobite exile Bonnie Prince Charlie. The tune is typically played in a lively, upbeat style that suits traditional step dancing and community sessions alike. Its character combines a bright, driving rhythmic pulse with a distinctly plaintive melodic contour characteristic of mid-eighteenth-century Jacobite lore.
