Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair
And one could tell by how he walked that he drunk more than his share
He fumbled around until he could no longer keep his feet
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
Ring ding diddle little laddie oh, ring di diddly I oh
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
About that time two young and lovely girls just happened by
One says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
See on sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt
Ring ding diddle little laddie oh, ring di diddly I oh
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt
They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be
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 little laddie oh, [G] ring di diddly I oh
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
They marvelled for a moment then one [Abm] said we must be gone
Let's leave a present for our [C] friend before we move along
As a gift [Eb] they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow
Around the [D] bonnie star the Scots kilt did lift and show
Ring ding diddle little laddie oh, ring di diddly I oh
Around the bonnie star the Scots kilt did lift and show
Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards the trees
Behind the bush he lift his kilt and God said [Eb] what he sees
And in a startled [N] voice he says to what's before his eyes
Oh lad I don't know where you've been but I see you've won first prize
Ring ding diddle little laddie oh, oh lad I don't know where you've been but I see you've won first prize
And one could tell by how he walked that he drunk more than his share
He fumbled around until he could no longer keep his feet
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
Ring ding diddle little laddie oh, ring di diddly I oh
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
About that time two young and lovely girls just happened by
One says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
See on sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt
Ring ding diddle little laddie oh, ring di diddly I oh
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt
They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be
Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
And there behold for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt
