Irish Rovers The Drunk Scottsman Song
Well a Scottsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening
fair
And one could tell by how he walked the he'd drunk more
than hisshare
He fumbled 'round until he could no long keep his feet
And he stumbled off in to the grass to sleep beside the
street
Ring-ding didle lidle la deo
Ring dye didley eye oh
He stumbled off in to the grass to sleep beside the
street
About the thime two young and lovely girls just
happened by
One says to the other, with a twinkle in her eye
"See yon sleeping Scottsman, so strong a handsome built
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the
kilt"
Ring-ding didle lidle la deo
Ring dye didley eye oh
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the
kilt
They krept up on the sleeping Scottsman quite as could
be
They 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 didle lidle la deo
Ring dye didley eye oh
Was nothing more htna 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 in to a bow
Around the bonnie star the Scotts kilt did lift and
show
Ring-ding didle lidle la deo
Ring dye didley eye oh
Around the bonnie star the scotts kilt did lift and
show
Now the Scottsman woke to natures call and stumbled for
thetrees
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,
"Lad, I don't know where you;ve been, but I see you've
won firstprize"
Ring-ding didle lidle la deo
Ring dye didley eye oh
Lad, I don't know where you've been, but I see you've
won firstprize
