The Scotsman

A Scottsman clad in kilts, left a bar one evening fair
One could tell by how he walked, he'd drunk more than his share
He staggered on until he could no longer keep his feet
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
Ring ding didle e eye eye de oh, Oh Ring die diddle eye oh...
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
Later on two young and lovely girls just happened by
One said to the other with a twinkle in her eye
Oh see young sleeping Scotsman, so young and handsome built

I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilts
Ring ding didle e eye eye de oh, Oh Ring die diddle eye oh...

I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilts
They stepped up to that Scotsman, so young and fancy free
They lifted up his kilt above the waist so they could see
And there, behold, for them to view, beneath his Scottish skirt
Twas nothing more than God had blessed him with upon his birth.

Ring ding didle e eye eye de oh, Oh Ring die diddle eye oh...
Twas nothing more than God had blessed him with upon his birth.

They marveled for a moment, then one said "Let's be gone."
Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along
As a gift they left a blue ribbon, tied into a bow
Around the bonny star that Scott's kilt lifting showed.

Ring ding didle e eye eye de oh, Oh Ring die diddle eye oh...
Around the bonny star that Scott's kilt lifting showed.

The Scott awoke to nature's call and stumbled to the trees,
Behind a bush he lift's his kilt, and gawks at what he sees
Then in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes.
Ach Lad, I dinna know where you been, but I see you won 1st prize.
Ring ding didle e eye eye de oh, Oh Ring die diddle eye oh...
Ach Lad, I dinna know where you been, but I see you won 1st prize.
