Charlie Is My Darling - Ewan MacColl

Twas on a monday morning,

Right early in the year,

That Charlie came to our town,

The young Chevalier.

Chorus:

An' Charlie he’s my darling,

My darling, my darling,

Charlie he’s my darling

The young Chevalier.

2. As he was walking up the street,

The city for to view,

O there he spied a bonie lass

The window looking thro'.

Chorus:

3. Sae light’s he jimped up the stair,

And tirl’d at the pin;

And wha sae ready as hersel',

To let the laddie in.

Chorus:

4. He set his Jenny on his knee,

All in his Highland dress;

For brawlie weel he ken’d the way

To please a bonie lass.

Chorus:

5. It’s up on yon heathery mountain,

An' down yon scroggy glen,

We daur na gang a milking,

An' Charlie and his men.

Chorus:
