[Verse]
If Fyou had seen my CCharlie at the head of an army
He was a gallant Fsight to beChold
With his Ffine tartan Chose on his bonnie round leg
And his buckles all Fpure shining Cgold
[Verse]
CThe tartan my love wore was the finest Stuart Kilt
With his Fsoft skin all Cunder it, as Fwhite as any Cmilk
It's no Fwonder that Cseven hundred highlanders killed
In restoring my FCharlie to Cme
[Verse]
My Flove was six foot Ctwo without stocking or shoe
In proportion my Ftrue love was Cbuilt
Like I Ftold you beCfore, upon Culloden Moor
Where the brave highland Farmy was Ckilled
[Verse]
CPrince Charlie Stuart was my true love's name
He was the Fflower of CEngland and a Fpride to his Cname
Ah, but Fnow they have Cbanished him over to Spain
And so dear was my FCharlie to Cme
