Scottish Traditional
Folk Music - Song Lyrics
Charlie Is My Darling
Chorus:
Oh! Charlie is my darling,
My darling, my darling,
Oh! Charlie is my darling,
The young Chevalier.
Twas on a Monday morning,
Right early in the year,
When Charlie came to our town,
The young Chevalier.
Chorus
As he cam' marching up the street,
The pipes played loud and clear,
And a' the folks cam' rinnin' out,
To meet the Chevalier.
Chorus
Wi' Highland bonnets on their heads,
And claymores bright and clear,
They cam' to fight for Scotland's right,
And the young Chevalier.
Chorus
They've left their bonnie Hieland hills,
Their wives and bairnies dear,
To draw the sword for Scotland's lord,
The gay Chevalier.
Chorus
Oh, there were mony beating hearts,
And mony hope and fear;
And mony were the pray'rs put up
For the young Chevalier.
Chorus
In and Around Aberfeldy
