Prince Charlie Stuart |
If you had seen my Charlie at the head of an army |
He was a gallant sight to behold |
With his fine tartan hose on his bonnie round leg |
And his buckles all pure shining gold |
The tartan my love wore was the finest Stuart Kilt |
With his soft skin all under it as white as any milk |
It’s no wonder that seven hundred highlanders were killed |
In restoring my Charlie to me |
My love was six foot two without stocking or shoe |
In proportion my true love was built |
Like I told you before upon Culloden Moor |
Where the brave highland army was killed |
Prince Charlie Stuart was my true love’s name |
He was the flower of England and a pride to his name |
Ah but now they have banished him over to Spain |
And so dear was my Charlie to me |
(repeat last verse) |
