Could be your Charles C--ly is Charles Kingsley.
"The Water Babies."
Two little birds, they sat on a stone,
One swam away, and then there was one;
with a fal-lal-la-lady.
The other swam after, then there was none,
And so the poor stone was left all alone;
with a fal-lal-l-lady.
(selection mentioned from The Oxford Dictionary Of Nursery Rhymes, 1955
