Tom: D
D G A D
Oh a Scotsman dressed all in his kilt left the bar one evening fair
D G D A
And one could tell by the way he walked he'd drunk more than his share
G D A
He staggered 'round until he could no longer keep his feet
D G A D
And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
[Chorus]
G D A
Ring ding diddle dliddle aye E O, ring aye diddly I Oh
D G A D
And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
[Verse 2]
D G A D
Now about that time two young and lovely girls were passing by
D G D A
And one looked to the other with a twinkle in her eye
G D A
"See yon sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built?
D G A D
I wonder if it's true that he wears nothing beneath his kilt"
[Chorus]
G D A
Ring ding diddle dliddle aye E O, ring aye diddly I Oh
D G A D
I wonder if it's true that he wears nothing beneath his kilt"
[Verse 3]
D G A D
They crept up to the sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be
D G D A
And lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
G D A
Lo and behold for them to view beneath the Scottish skirt
D G A D
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
[Chorus]
G D A
Ring ding diddle dliddle aye E O, ring aye diddly I Oh
D G A D
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
[Verse 4]
D G A D
They marveled for a minute then they said "we must be gone.
D G D A
Let's leave him a souvenir before we travel on"
G D A
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow
D G A D
Around the bonny star the Scotsman's kilt did lift and show
[Chorus]
G D A
Ring ding diddle dliddle aye E O, ring aye diddly I Oh
D G A D
Around the bonny star the Scotsman's kilt did lift and show
[Verse 5]
D G A D
Now the Scotsman rose to Nature's call and headed for the trees
D G D A
He lifted up his kilt and then he gawks at what he sees
G D A
And in his drunken voice he says to what's before his eyes
D G A D
"Oh lad I don't know where you've been but I see you've won first prize"
[Chorus]
G D A
Ring ding diddle dliddle aye E O, ring aye diddly I Oh
D G A D
"Oh lad I don't know where you've been but I see you've won first prize"
[Verse 6]
D G A D
Our Scottish friend still dressed in kilt continued down the street
D G D A
He hadn’t gone 10 yards or more when a girl he chanced to meet
G D A
She said, I've heard what’s under there, please tell me is it so.
D G A D
He said, just slip your hand up miss if you'd really like to know.
[Chorus]
G D A
Ring ding diddle dliddle aye E O, ring aye diddly I Oh
D G A D
He said, just slip your hand up miss if you'd really like to know.
[Verse 7]
D G A D
She put her hand right up his kilt and much to her surprise
D G D A
The Scotsman he did smile at her and got a twinkle in his eyes.
G D A
She cried, Why Sir that’s gruesome! And then she heard him roar
D G A D
If you reach your hand right up again you’ll find it’s grew some more!
[Chorus]
G D A
Ring ding diddle dliddle aye E O, ring aye diddly I Oh
D G A D
If you reach your hand right up again you’ll find it’s grew some more!
[Verse 8]
D G A D
Now the Scotsman’s hands were numb with drink and his head was spinning round.
D G D A
He couldn’t get that ribbon off so homeward he was bound
G D A
His wife she caught a flash of blue as he took off his clothes
D G A D
And it piqued her curiosity as one might well suppose.
[Chorus]
G D A
Ring ding diddle dliddle aye E O, ring aye diddly I Oh
D G A D
And it piqued her curiosity as one might well suppose.
[Verse 9]
D G A D
Well then she asked her husband where he’d been and what he’d done
D G D A
He said there’d been a contest at the pub and that he’d won
G D A
She cried, “did you show that thing off In front of all those men?"
D G A D
"I did not show it all my love but I showed enough to win."
[Chorus]
G D A
Ring ding diddle dliddle aye E O, ring aye diddly I Oh
D G A D
"I did not show it all my love but I showed enough to win."
