Charlie was a loafer, Charlie was a lout, huh
But Charlie was the only bloke she ever cared about
Each night when she's alone, Charlies there
Charlie was an arse, and they said he didn't care
But Charlie had a heart, now with her everywhere
She always swears she knows that he's there
And from her bed echoes Charlie's prayer
'Charlies watching over me
Charlies watching, I can see
Charlie watching
Over me'
They said he was a tramp a vagabond in a vest
Charlie Charlie
But Charlie was the business
And she says he was the best
And from her bed Charlie's watching
[Guitar]
Charlie was a loner, just a hoboe
But Charlie was a saint and he's her hero
She always said she
Charlie's watching
