Bryan Bowers – The Scotsman lyrics

Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair
And one could tell by how he walked that he drank more than his share
He fumbled around until he could no longer keep his feet
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
Ring-ding-diddle-diddle hai-dee-ho ring-di-diddly-ai-oh
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
About that time two young and lovely girls just 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 the kilt
Ring-ding-diddle-diddle hai-dee-ho ring-di-diddly-ai-oh
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt
She crept up on that sleeping Scotsman as quiet as could be
And lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
And there behold unto their view beneath his Scottish skirt
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
Ring-ding-diddle-diddle hai-dee-ho ring-di-diddly-ai-oh
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
They marveled for a moment than 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 Scot's kilt did lift and show
Ring-ding-diddle-diddle hai-dee-ho ring-di-diddly-ai-oh
Around the bonny star the Scot's kilt did lift and show
Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards the trees
Behind the bush he lifts his kilt and gasps at what he sees
And in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes
Oh lad I don't know where you been but I see you won first prize
Ring-ding-diddle-diddle hai-dee-ho ring-di-diddly-ai-oh
Oh lad I don't know where you been but I see you won first prize!
