Fighting for Old Charlie lyrics

In sixteen hundred and forty two
I knew what I had got to do
Leave my home and my family too
And fight for good old Charlie!
 
[Chorus]
Too-ra-Loo-ra-Loo-ra-li
Too-ra-Loo-ra-Loo-ra-li
Too-ra-Loo-ra-Loo-ra-li
Fighting for old Charlie!
 
In sixteen hundred and forty three
Those roundheads they were after me
But we were on winning spree
Fighting for old Charlie!
 
[chorus]
 
In sixteen hundred and forty four
We fought a battle at Martson Moor
Many men died to uphold the law
Fighting for old Charlie!
 
[chorus]
 
In sixteen hundred and forty five
Our fortunes they did take a dive.
Well I thank God I'm still alive
Fighting for old Charlie!
 
[chorus]
 
In sixteen hundred and forty six
those Roundheads, they were up to tricks
they'd got our army in fix
Fighting for old Charlie!
 
[chorus]
 
In sixteen hundred and forty seven
Most of us were up in heaven
The rest of us were down in Devon
Fighting for old Charlie!
 
[chorus]
 
In sixteen hundred and forty eight
Cromwell's knocking on the gate
But I'd gone, he's come too late
Fighting for old Charlie
 
[chorus]
 
In sixteen hundred and forty nine
Our storys come to the end of the line
the king is dead, He's lost is head
But we'll figh on for old Charlie
 
[chorus]
