Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening there
And one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share
He fumbled round 'till he could no longer keep his feet
And he stumbled to the grass to sleep beside the street
Chorus
Ring ding didleadyo ring sing dadyo
he stumbled to the grass to sleep beside the street
About that time two young and lovely just tappin by
One said to the other with a twinkle in her eye
See young sleeping Scotsman
So strong and handsome build
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath there kilt
Chorus
Ring ding didleadyo ring sing dadyo
i wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath there kilt
They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman
Quiet as could be
Lifted up his Kilt an inch so they could see
And there behold for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt
Was nothing more than god engraced him upon his birth
Chorus
Ring ding didleadyo ring sing dadyo
Was nothing more than god engraced him upon his birth
They marvveled for a moment
Then one said we must be gone
Lets leave a present for our friend before we move along
As a gift the left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow
Around the bonnie star that the Scots kilt did lift and show
Chorus
Ring ding didleadyo ring sing dadyo
Around the bonnie star the Scots kilt did lift and show
Now the Scotsman woke to natures call
And stumbled towards a tree
Behind the bush he lifts his kilt
And god says what he sees
In and a startled voice he heard
A voice he says to whats before his eyes
Lad i don't no where you've been but i see you won first prize
Chorus
Ring ding didleadyo ring sing dadyo
Lad i don't no where you've been but i see you won first prize
