CHARLIE IS MY DARLING
2.  As he cam'marchin' up the street,
The pipes play'd loud and clear; And a' the folk cam' rinnin' out To meet the Chevalier.
Oh ! Charlie, &c.
3.   Wi' Hieland bonnets on their heads,
And claymores bright and clear, They cam' to fight for Scotland's right And the young Chevalier.
Oh! Charlie, &c.
4,  They've left their bonnie Hieland hills.
Their wives and bairnies dear, To draw the sword for Scotland's Lord, The young Chevalier.
Oh! Charlie, &c.
5.  Oh ! there were mony beating hearts,
And mony a hope and fear; And mony were the pray'rs put up For'the young Chevalier.
Oh! Charlie. &c.
