BONNIE CHARLIE'S GONE AWA'. AKA and see "Bonnie Charlie (3)," "Will ye no' come back again?." Scottish, New England; March (4/4 time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. The tune is not related to "Bonnie Charlie" [1] or [2], but is rather the air "annotation:Will ye no' come back again?," here taking its title from Lady Oliphant's first line:
Bonnie Charlie's gone away
Safely o’er the friendly main;
Many’s a heart will break in twain,
Should he ne'er come back again.
Will ye no come back again?
Will ye no come back again?
Better loved ye canna be,
