o charlie o charlie
cum oot fippet gair
and i’ll gae ye oer tae yur orders
for a’ man a war tae the high hill and h+lls
for a while tae leave the bonnie boch and borders

o charlie o charlie
tak notice fit i sae:
and fit every man tae his station
for i’m gang awa’ tae the bonny hill and h+lls
for tae view a’ the pearts o’ the nation

tae the lousen, ye’ll pit shaw
ye’ll pit saudersen tae lor
tae the callin’ ye’ll pit a’ dandra kate nas
ye’ll guard callin’ h+ll aye, tae feed the
threshin mill
and ye’ll see that he daren’t weaken in faintness

tae the gatherin o’ the hay
ye’ll put little isa grey
and wi her ye’ll put her couzin peggy
and underneath the barns, it’s there
ye’ll put yur arns
and ye’ll see that they dare tae act tidy
and fur you wally bard
ye’ll carry on mistard
and ye’ll keep a’ the lasses a’ howlin’
and ye’ll tak care o’ jake
or he’ll play you a trick
and settle yur merry maids a mowin’

and fur you, annie scot
ye’ll put on ma muckle
port
and ye’ll mark til them pottage an’ plenty
fur yon hungry grossegs are comin’ fippet gair
and their kippit icy bare and sae scanty

o charlie, o charlie
sae early ye’ll rise
and see a’ ma merry men a yokin’
and you, missy poke
you’ll set in the parlor newk
and keep a‘ my merry men fair smokin’
