TEKST “UNDER THE SCOTSMAN’S KILT”
Jim Stafford
A 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 stumbled on until he could no longer keep his feet
Then staggered off into the grass to sleep beside the street.
chorus:
Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o de
He staggered 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 so strong 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 dill
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
Lifted up his kilt above the waist 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 dirth
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 star of the Scot’s lifted kilt did show
Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o doh
Around the bonnie star of the Scot’s lifted kilt did show
The Scotsman woke to nature’s call and stumbled toward a trees
Behind a bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees
Then in a drunken voice he says to what’s before his eyes
“Lad, I don’t where you’ve been but I see you won first prize”
Ring ding diddle diddle i de o
Ring di diddle i o die
He said, “Lad, I don’t know where you’ve been but I see you won first prize”
