Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair And one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share He fumbled round until he could no longer keep his feet And he stumbled into the grass to sleep beside the street
Chorus Ring ding diddlediddle ay de o, ring di diddly ay o 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 yon sleeping Scotsman So strong and handsome built I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt
Chorus Ring ding diddlediddle ay de o, ring di diddly ay o 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 And 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
Chorus Ring ding diddlediddle ay de o, ring di diddly ay o Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
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 bonnie star the Scot's kilt did lift and show
Chorus Ring ding diddlediddle ay de o, ring di diddly ay o Around the bonnie star the Scot's kilt did lift and show
Now the Scotsman woke to natures call And stumbled toward a tree Behind the bush he lifts his kilt And gawks at what he sees And in a startled voice he says To what's before his eyes Ach, lad I don't know where ya've been but I see ya won first prize
Chorus Ring ding diddlediddle ay de o, ring di diddly ay o Lad I don't know where ya've been but I see ya won first prize
