Ye're Welcome, Charly Stuart - Scottish Country Dancing Instruction VideoDance Information
Ye're Welcome, Charly Stuart is a Scottish Country Dance found in the Castle Menzies Register of Dances from 1749 (where it is called "You'r Welcome Charly Stuart"), and interpreted by the RSCDS in book 7, 1931.(Dance information copyright, reproduced here with the kind permission of George Williams)
This dance shares its title with the You're Welcome, Charlie Stewart - Song, an anonymous Jacobite song dating from the eighteenth century.
"Charly Stuart" refers to Prince Charles Edward Stuart, better known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, who landed in the Highlands in 1745 and led the Jacobite rising of that year in an attempt to restore the House of Stuart to the British throne.
Chorus:
You're welcome, Charlie Stewart,
You're welcome, Charlie Stewart,
You're welcome, Charlie Stewart,
There's none so right as thou art.
You're Welcome, Charlie Stewart - From Page 415 Of 'The Glen Collection Of Printed Music, Scots Musical Museum', Volume 5, c. 1787-1803
