G
There's a good old Scottish custom, that has stood the test of time,
C G D
it's a custom that’s been carried out in ev'ry land and clime.
G
Where brother Scots fore-gather, it's aye the usual thing,
D D7
just before they say guid-nicht, we fill our cups and sing.
[Chorus]
G
Just a wee deoch-an-doris, just a wee yin that's a',
C G C D
just a wee deoch-an-doris before we gang a-wa'.
G C
There's a wee wifie waitin', in a wee but an ben,
G C G C D G
if you can say, "It's a braw bricht moonlicht nicht", then yer a'richt ye ken
[Verse]
G
I like a man who is a man, a man who's straight and fair,
C G D
the sort of man who will and can, in all things do his share.
G
I like a man, a jolly man, the sort o' man you know, ye ken.
D D7
the chap who slaps your back and says "Here Jock, before you go.”
[Chorus]
G
Just a wee deoch-an-doris, just a wee yin that's a',
C G C D
just a wee deoch-an-doris before we gang a-wa'.
G C
There's a wee wifie waitin', in a wee but an ben,
G C G C D G
if you can say, "It's a braw bricht moonlicht nicht", then yer a'richt ye ken
