The Scotsman
Oh, a Scotsman clad in a kilt
left a bar one evenin' fair.
And one could tell by the way he walked
he'd drunk more than his share.
He fumbled 'round until he could
no longer keep his feet.
Then he stumbled off onto the grass
to sleep beside the street.
Ring-ding, diddle-iddle, la-di-oh!
Ring-dye, diddle-lye oh!
He stumbled off onto the grass
to sleep beside the street.
About that time two young
and lovely girls just happened by.
And one said to the other
with a twinkle in her eye.
"See yon sleepin' Scotsman
so strong and handsome built.
I wonder if it's true what
they don't wear beneath their kilt."
Ring-ding, diddle-iddle, la-di-oh!
Ring-dye, diddle-lye oh!
I wonder if it's true what
they don't wear beneath their kilt.
So, they crept up on that sleepin' Scotsman
quiet as they could be.
They lifted up his kilt
about an inch so they could see.
And there, behold, for them to view
beneath his Scottish skirt,
was nothing more than God
had graced him with upon his birth.
Ring-ding, diddle-iddle, la-di-oh!
Ring-dye, diddle-lye oh!
was nothing more than God
had graced him with upon his birth.
Well, they marveled for a moment
then one said, "We must be gone.
Let's leave a present for our friend
before we move along."
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon
tied into a bow
around the bonney star Scot's
kilt did lift and show!
Ring-ding, diddle-iddle, la-di-oh!
Ring-dye, diddle-lye oh!
around the bonney star Scot's
kilt did lift and show!
Oh! The Scotsman woke to nature's call
and he stumbled towards the trees.
Behind a bush he lifts his kilt
and gawks at what he sees.
And in a startled voice he says
to what's before his eyes,
"Oh Laddy, don't know where ya been,
but I see ya won first prize!"
Ring-ding, diddle-iddle, la-di-oh!
Ring-dye, diddle-lye oh!
"Oh Laddy, don't know where ya been,
but I see ya won first prize!"
