A starched shirt also go to rob my clerk => This is puzzling ... do you mean 'to robe' (i.e. to dress up) ?

Original lyrics
Üsküdar'a gider iken
Üsküdar’a Gider İken Aldı Da Bir Yağmur,
Kâtibimin Setresi Uzun Eteği Çamur.
Kâtip Uykudan Uyanmış Gözleri Mahmur.
Kâtip Benim Ben Kâtibin El Ne Karışır,
Kâtibime Kolalı Da Gömlek Ne Güzel Yaraşır.
Üsküdar’a Gider İken Bir Mendil Buldum,
Mendilimin İçine Lokum Doldurdum.
Kâtibimi Arar İken Yanımda Buldum.
Kâtip Benim Ben Kâtibin El Ne Karışır,
Kâtibime Kolalı Da Gömlek Ne Güzel Yaraşır.
Translation
When going to Uskudar
When going to Uskudar , a rain occurs
The coat of my clerk is long, his heels are covered in mud
The clerk is mine and I am his , will mingle other
A lame jacket will look great in my clerk
When going to Uskudar , the grocer around the corner
pencil in hand, had its accounts
The clerk is mine and I am his , will mingle other
A starched shirt also go to rob my clerk
In the hands of my clerk , a canary cage
The fez my cleric is too small for him
The cleric is willing, he will marry
The clerk is mine and I am his , will mingle other
A starched shirt also go to rob my clerk
When going to Uskudar , I found a handkerchief
I filled out the handkerchief loukoums
When looking for my clerk, I found by my side
The clerk is mine and I am his , will mingle other
A fragrant shirt also go to rob my clerk
The clerk walks arm in arm
The words of my clerk move me
The letters of my clerc are in my pockets
The clerk is mine and I am his , will mingle other
A starched shirt also go to rob my clerk
When I going to Uskudar , my bundle caught fire
My cord is pulled , my watch fell
The womanizing Uskudar are chasing me
The clerk is mine and I am his , will mingle other
A starched shirt also go to rob my clerk
The boats from Uskudar in Istanbul
My clerc is sitting, he dissects hazelnuts
In his dream , the clerk about me aloud
The clerk is mine and I am his , will mingle other
A starched shirt also go to rob my clerk
