lyrics

Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair
one could tell by how he walked he'd drunk more than his share
he stumbled on until he could no longer keep his feet
then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street


Ring ding diddle dliddle add E O
ring ding diddily I Oh
he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street

Well about that time two young and lovely lasses 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 their kilt"

Ring ding diddle dliddle add E O
ring ding diddily I Oh
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their 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 dliddle add E O
ring ding diddily I Oh
was nothin' 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 bonny star the Scotsman's kilt did lift and show

Ring ding diddle dliddle add E O
ring ding diddily I Oh
around the bonny star the Scotsman's kilt did lift and show.

Now the Scotsman woke to Nature's call and stumbled toward the trees
behind a bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees
and in a startled voice he said to what's before his eyes
"Lad I don't know where you've been but I see you won first prize"

Ring ding diddle dliddle add E O
ring ding diddily I Oh
"Lad I don't know where you've been but I see you won first prize"
