Chorus
Sae light's he jimped up the stair, And tirl'd at the

To let the laddie

Chorus
He set his Jenny
on his knee,
All in his
Highland dress;
For brawlie weel he ken'd the way
To please a bonnie lass.

We daur na gang a
milking,
An' Charlie and his
men.
ChorusChorus Oh,Charlie
is
my
darling,My darling, my
darling, Oh, Charlie is my
darling,The young
Chevalier.
'Twas on a Monday
morning, Bright early in the
year, When Charlie came to
our town, The
young Chevalier,
As he came marching
up the street, The pipes
play'd loud and clear, And a' the folk
came running out, To
meet the Chevalier. Chorus Wi' Hieland bonnets
on their heads, and claymores
bright and clear, They came to fight for
Scotland's right, And the young
Chevalier.
Chorus
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 is my darling, my darling, my
darling, Oh! Charlie is my darling, The young
Chevalier,
The Scottish flag is the cross of St.
Andrew, also known as the Saltire.
It is said to be one of the oldest national flags
of any country, dating back at
least to the 12th century.
Tradition suggests that St.
Andrew
(an apostle of Jesus in the Christian religion) was
put to death by the Romans
in Greece by being pinned to a cross of this
shape.
