Irish Rovers The Scottsman Lyrics

The Scottsman lyrics

Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening
fair
And one could tell by how he walked the he'd drunk more
than his share
He fumbled 'round until he could no longer keep his
feet
And he stumbled off in to the grass to sleep beside the
street

Ring-ding didle idle i de-o
Ring dye didley i oh
He stumbled off in to the grass to sleep beside the
street

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

Ring-ding didle idle i de-o
Ring dye didley i oh
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the
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 Scotish
skirt
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his

birth

Ring-ding didle idle i de-o
Ring dye didley i oh
Was nothing 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 in to a bow
Around the bonnie star the Scot's kilt did lift and
show

Ring-ding didle iidle i de-o
Ring dye didley i oh
Around the bonnie 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 gawks at what he
sees
And in a startled voice he says, to what's before his
eyes,
"Lad, I don't know where ya been, but I see you've won
first prize"

Ring-ding didle idle i de-o
Ring dye didley i oh
Lad, I don't know where you've been, but I see you've
won first prize
