CHARLIE HE'S MY DARLING
Chorus
An' Charlie he's my darling,My darling, my darling,
Charlie he's my darling—
The Young Chevalier!
I
'Twas on a Monday morningRight early in the year,
That Charlie came to our town—
The Young Chevalier!
155
II
As he was walking up the streetThe city for to view,
O, there he spied a bonie lass
The window looking thro'!
III
Sae light's he jimpèd up the stair,And tirl'd at the pin;
And wha sae ready as hersel'
To let the laddie in!
IV
He set his Jenny on his knee,All in his Highland dress;
For brawlie weel he kend the way
To please a bonie lass.
V
It's up yon heathery mountainAnd down yon scroggy glen,
We daurna gang a-milking
For Charlie and his men!
Chorus
An' Charlie he's my darling,My darling, my darling,
Charlie he's my darling—
The young Chevalier!
