Charlie Is My Darling lyrics
’Twas on a Monday morning,
Right early in the year,
That Charlie came to our town,
The young Chevalier.
[Chorus:]
Charlie is my darling,
My darling, my darling,
Charlie is my darling,
The young Chevalier.
As he was walking doon the street, (doon-down)
The city for to view,
O there he spied a bonie lass (bonie lass-beautiful girl)
The windae peekin’ through. (windae peekin’-window lookin’)
Oh Charlie is my darling...
So light he jumped up the stair,
And tirl’d at the pin; (tirl’d at the pin-rang the doorbell)
And wha’s sae ready but herself (wha’s sae-who’s so)
To let the laddie in? (laddie-boy)
Oh Charlie is my darling...
He set his Jenny on his knee, (set-sat)
All in his highland dress;
For brawly weel he kent the way (brawly weel-very well,
kent-knew)
To please a highland lass.
Oh Charlie is my darling...
It’s up yon heathery mountain, (yon-that)
And down yon scroggie glen, (scroggie glen-scrubland)
We daurnae gang a-milking, (daurnae gang-dare not go)
For Charlie and all his men,
Oh Charlie is my darling...
