And one could tell b'how he walked
That he drunk more than his share.
He stumbled 'round until he could
No longer keep his feet,
And he stumbled off into the grass
To sleep beside the street.
Ring ding diddle iddle aye dee oh!
Ring dye diddle ee aye 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 their kilt."
Ring ding diddle iddle aye dee oh!
Ring dye diddle ee aye 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 nothin' more than God
Had graced him with upon his birth.
Ring ding diddle iddle aye dee oh!
Ring dye diddle ee aye 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 Bonnie's star, the Scot's
Kilt did lift and show.
Ring ding diddle iddle aye dee oh!
Ring dye diddle ee aye oh!
Around the Bonnie's star, the Scot's
Kilt did lift and show.
Well 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 says
To what's before his eyes,
"Oh, lad, I don't know where you've been,
But I see you've won first prize!"
Ring ding diddle iddle aye dee oh!
Ring dye diddle ee aye oh!
"Lad, I don't know where you've been,
But I see you've won first prize!" |
