Charlie is my darling.

  Charlie is my darling, my darling, my darling,  O 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 ChevalierAs he came marching up the street the pipes played low and clear;And a' the folk came running out to meet the ChevalierO Charlie is my darling, &c.

With Highland bonnets on their heads and claymore bright and clear,They came to fight for Scotland's rights and the young Chevalier; They've left their bonny Highland hills; their wives, and bairnies dear,To draw the sword for Scotland's cause and the young Chevalier.O Charlie is my darling, &c.
