[Verse]

C C F F G G C C
Well Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair
C C F F C C G G
One could tell by how he walked, that he'd drunk more than his share.
F F C C F F G G
He stumbled on until he could no longer keep his feet,
C C F F G G C C
Then he staggered off into the grass to sleep beside the street.


[Chorus]

F F C C G G
Ring ding diddle iddle I dee oh, ring di diddle I Oh
C C F F G G C C
He staggered off into the grass to sleep beside the street.


[Verse]

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


[Chorus]

F F C C G G
Ring ding diddle iddle I dee oh, ring di diddle I Oh
C C F F G G C C
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt.


[Verse]

C C F F G G C C
They crept up to that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be,
C C F F C C G G
Lifted up his kilt above the waist so they could see.
F F C C F F G G
And there behold for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt,
C C F F G G C C
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth.


[Chorus]

F F C C G G
Ring ding diddle iddle I dee oh, ring di diddle I Oh
C C F F G G C C
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth.


[Verse]

C C F F G G C C
They marveled for a moment then one said we'd best be gone,
C C F F C C G G
Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along.
F F C C F F G G
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon, tied into a bow,
C C F F G G C C
Around the bonnie star of the Scots kilt lifting show.


[Chorus]

F F C C G G
Ring ding diddle iddle I dee oh, ring di diddle I Oh
C C F F G G C C
Around the bonnie star of the Scots kilt lifting show.


[Verse]

C C F F G G C C
The Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards a tree,
C C F F C C G G
Behind a bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees.
F F C C F F G G
Then in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes,
C C F F G G C C
My friend I dunno where you've been but I see you've won first prize.


[Chorus]

F F C C G G
Ring ding diddle iddle I dee oh, ring di diddle I Oh
C C F F G G C C
My friend I dunno where you've been but I see you've won first prize.
