Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair 

And one could tell by how he walked he'd drunk more than his share 

He staggered on until he could no longer keep his feet 

Then stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street. 



chorus: 

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o 

Ring di diddle i o 

He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street. 



Later on two young and lovely girls just happened by, 

And one says to the other with a twinkle in her eye 

You see yon sleeping Scotsman who is young and handsome built 

I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilt. 



Ring ding diddle diddle i de o 

Ring di diddle i o 

I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilt. 



They crept up to the sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be 

Then lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see 

And there behold for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt 

Was nothing but what God had graced him with upon his birth 



Ring ding diddle diddle i de o 

Ring di diddle i o 

There was nothing there but what God gave upon his birth 



They marveled for a moment then one said we'd best be gone 

But let's leave a present for our friend before we move along 

They took a blue silk ribbon and they tied it in a bow 

Around the bonnie spar that the Scot's lifted kilt did show 



Ring ding diddle diddle i de o 

Ring di diddle i o 

Around the bonnie spar that the Scot's lifted kilt did show 



The Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled toward a tree 

Behind a bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees 

Then in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes 

He said, "Lad I don't know where you've been but I see you won first 

prize" 



Ring ding diddle diddle i de o 

Ring di diddle i o 

He said, "Lad I don't know where you've been but I see you won first prize"
