Paroles de The Scotsman

Well, a Scotsman Lad in kilt left a bar on one evening fair,
And one could tell by how he walked,
That he?d drunk more than his share,
He thumbled round until he could no longer keep his feet
An he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
Ring ding diddle little laddy oh,
Ring da diddly oh
He stumbled off into 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 and handsome built,
I wonder if it?s true what they don?t wear beneath the kilt
Ring ding diddle little laddy oh,
Ring da diddly oh
I wonder if it?s true what they don?t wear beneath the kilt
They crept upon 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 diddle little laddy oh,
Ring da diddly oh
Was nothing more than god had graced him with upon his birth
They marvelled 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 into a bow
Around the bonnie star the Scot?s kilt did lift and show Behind the bush he lifts his kilt and gawkes at what he sees
And in a startled voice he sais to what?s before his eyes
Oh, lad, I don?t know where ya been
But I see, you won first prize
Ring ding diddle little laddy oh,
Ring da diddly oh
Oh, lad, I don?t know where ya been
But I see, you won first prize
