Scotland and Charlie.

[Music arranged by R. A. Smith. At page 326 will be found another song with the same fantastic title.]

O wha's for Scotland and Charlie?
O wha's for Scotland and Charlie?
He's come o'er the sea
To his ain countrie;
Now wha's for Scotland and Charlie?
Awa', awa', auld carlie,
Awa', awa', auld carlie,
Gi'e Charlie his crown,
And let him sit down,
Whare ye've been sae lang, auld carlie.

It's up in the morning early,
It's up in the morning early;
The bonnie white rose;
The plaid and the hose,
Are on for Scotland and Charlie.

The swords are drawn now fairly,
The swords are drawn now fairly,
The swords they are drawn,
And the pipes they ha'e blawn
A pibroch for Scotland and Charlie.

The flags are fleein' fu' rarely,
The flags are fleein' fu' rarely,
And Charlie's awa'
To see his ain ha',
And to bang his faes right sairly.
Then wha's for Scotland and Charlie?
O wha's for Scotland and Charlie?
He's come o'er the sea
To his ain countrie;
Then wha's for Scotland and Charlie?
