Verse 
   F               C 
If you had seen my Charlie at the head of an army 
                 F          C 
He was a gallant sight to behold 
         F           C 
With his fine tartan hose on his bonnie round leg 
                    F            C 
And his buckles all pure shining gold 

Verse 
C 
The tartan my love wore was the finest Stuart Kilt 
         F             C            F            C 
With his soft skin all under it, as white as any milk 
        F           C 
It's no wonder that seven hundred highlanders killed 
                F          C 
In restoring my Charlie to me 

Verse 
   F                 C 
My love was six foot two without stocking or shoe 
                 F             C 
In proportion my true love was built 
       F          C 
Like I told you before, upon Culloden Moor 
                         F        C 
Where the brave highland army was killed 

Verse 
C 
Prince Charlie Stuart was my true love's name 
           F         C             F            C 
He was the flower of England and a pride to his name 
        F             C 
Ah, but now they have banished him over to Spain 
                   F          C 
And so dear was my Charlie to me
