Charlie is my Darling - Eddi Reader
|[Chorus]
|Em Am Em
|Charlie is my darling, my darling, my darling,
| C B Em
|Charlie is my darling, the young Cheva-lier.
B Em B Em
'Twas on a Monday morning, right early in the year,
C G Am Em B
That Charlie came to our town, the young Cheva-lier. [Chorus]
B Em B Em
As he was walking up the street, The city for to view,
C G Am Em B
O there he spied a bonnie lass, The window looking through [Chorus]
B Em B Em
Sae light's he jumped up-on the stair, and tirl'd at the pin,
C G Am Em B
And wha sae ready as hersel' to let the laddie in. [Chorus]
B Em B Em
He set his Jenny on his knee, all in his Highland dress;
C G Am Em B
For brawly weel he ken'd the way to please a bonnie lass. [Chorus]
B Em B Em
It's up yon heathery mountain, An' down yon scroggie glen,
C G Am Em B
We daur na gang a milking, for Charlie and his men [Chorus]
