A Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair,
‘N one could tell by the way he walked he’d drunk more than his share.
He stumbled ‘round till he could no longer keep his feet,
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.
~chorus ~
Ring-ding-diddle de di de do
Ring ding diddle di o
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.
About right then two young and lovely lasses happened by,
And 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 their kilt.
~chorus ~
Ring-ding-diddle de di de do
Ring ding diddle di o
I wonder if it’s true what they don’t wear beneath their kilt.
So they crept up on that sleep Scot as quiet as could be.
‘N they lifted up his kilt ‘bout an inch so the could see.
And what did their wandering eyes see beneath his Scottish skirt?
Twas nothing more that god had graced him with upon his birth!
~chorus ~
Ring-ding-diddle de di de do
Ring ding diddle di o
Twas nothing more that god had graced him with upon his birth!
Well they marveled for a moment, and one said we must move on,
But let us leave a gift for our friend before me move along.
So as a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow,
Around the bonnie star the Scottish kilt did lift and show.
Ring-ding-diddle de di de do
Ring ding diddle di o
Around the bonnie star the Scottish kilt did lift and show.
Well the Scotsman woke to natures call and stumbled towards the trees,
He lifted up his kilt and he gawks at what he sees
And in a surprised voice he cries to what’s before his eyes,
Aaa, Lad I don’t know where you’ve been but I see you’ve won first prize!
Ring-ding-diddle de di de do
Ring ding diddle di o
Aaa, Lad I don’t know where you’ve been but I see you’ve won first prize!
