lyrics

T’was on a monday morning
Right early in the year
That Charlie came to our town
The young chevalier.

Charlie is my darling
My darling, my darling
Charlie is my darling
The young chevalier.

As he was walking doon the street
The city for to view;
O there he spied a bonie lass
The windae peekin' through.

So light he jumped up the stairs
A tirl'd at the pin
And wha's sae ready but herself
To let the laddie in?

He set his Jenny on his knee
All in his highland dress
For brawly weel he kent the way
To please a highland lass

It's up yon heathery mountain
And down yon scroggie glen
We daur nae gang a-milking
For Charlie and all of his men…
