The Scotsman

     D                G             A               D
Well Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair
D                 G                        D                   A
One could tell by how he walked, that he'd drunk more than his share.
   G             D               G               A
He stumbled on until he could no longer keep his feet,
        D              G                A                D
Then he staggered off into the grass to sleep beside the street.


[Chorus]

G                                D                A
Ring ding diddle iddle I dee oh, ring di diddle I Oh
   D              G                A                D
He staggered off into the grass to sleep beside the street.


[Verse]

     D       G                A                   D
Later on two young and lovely girls just happened by,
D               G            D              A
One says to the other with a twinkle in her eye.
G                D            G                   A
See yon sleeping Scotsman, so strong and handsome built,
     D           G                    A               D
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt.


[Chorus]

G                                D                A
Ring ding diddle iddle I dee oh, ring di diddle I Oh
     D           G                    A               D
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt.


[Verse]

     D                G                 A              D
They crept up to that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be,
D             G              D                   A
Lifted up his kilt above the waist so they could see.
G                    D               G                 A
And there behold for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt,
     D                G                  A             D
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth.


[Chorus]

G                                D                A
Ring ding diddle iddle I dee oh, ring di diddle I Oh
     D                G                  A             D
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth.


[Verse]

     D              G               A                 D
They marveled for a moment then one said we'd best be gone,
D                     G              D              A
Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along.
G                     D                 G           A
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon, tied into a bow,
     D            G                 A            D
Around the bonnie star of the Scots kilt lifting show.


[Chorus]

G                                D                A
Ring ding diddle iddle I dee oh, ring di diddle I Oh
     D            G                 A            D
Around the bonnie star of the Scots kilt lifting show.


[Verse]

     D                G                A                  D
The Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards a tree,
D                G                  D                A
Behind a bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees.
G                  D                G                 A
Then in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes,
     D            G                       A                    D
My friend I dunno where you've been but I see you've won first prize.


[Chorus]

G                                D                A
Ring ding diddle iddle I dee oh, ring di diddle I Oh
     D            G                       A                    D
My friend I dunno where you've been but I see you've won first prize.
