Sung text (original language):
REFRAIN:
O Charlie is my darling,
My darling, my darling;
O Charlie is my darling,
The young chevalier.
‘Twas on a Monday morning,
When birds were singing clear;
That Charlie to the Highlands came,
The gallant chevalier.

REFRAIN

And many a gallant Scottish chief,
Came round their Prince to cheer,
That Charlie was their darling,
The young chevalier.

REFRAIN
They wou’d na bide to chase the roes
Or start the nountain deer;
But aff they march’d wi’ Charlie,
The galant chevalier.

REFRAIN
