Oh, CHARLIE IS MY DARLING (2) (words Charles Gray; music Trad) CHO: Oh Charlie is my darling, My darling, my darling Oh, Charlie is my darling The young Chevalier. When first the standard caught the eye His pibroch met the ear, Our hearts were light, our hopes were high For the young Chevalier. Then plighted Chiefs came from afar Their hearts without a fear They nobly drew the sword of war For the young Chevalier. But they who trust to fortune's smile Have mickle cause to fear; She blinketh blithe but to beguile The young Chevalier. Oh dark Culloden, fatal field, Fell source of many a tear; There Albyn took her sword and shield And the young Chevalier. Now Scotland's flowers fade away Her forest trees are sere; Her royal oak is gone for aye, The young Chevalier!
