CHARLIE HE'S MY DARLING
'Twas on a Monday morning,
Right early in the year
That Charlie came to our town,
The young Chevalier.

As he was walking up the street,
The city for to view,
O there he spied a bonny lass
The window looking thro'.

Sae light's he jumped up the stair,
And tirled at the pin
And wha sae ready as hersel,
To let the laddie in.

He set his Jenny on his knee,
All in the Highland dress;
For brawlie well he ken'd the way
To please a bonny lass,

Its up yon heathery mountain,
And down yon scroggy glen,
We daur nae gang a milking,
For Charlie and his men,
An' Charlie &c.
