Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair
     C          G      C      F                F                     
And one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his
  G
 share
Am                G                 F               G
He fumbled round until he could no longer keep his feet
           C        G       C      F        G        C
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
F                                C                G 
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
     C        G       C          F        G        C
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street

        C        G       C          F        G        C
About that time two young and lovely girls just happened by
     C          G      C      F                G   
And one says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
Am                G                 F               G
See young sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built
           C        G       C      F        G        C
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt
F                                C                G 
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
           C        G       C      F        G        C
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt

        C        G       C          F        G        C
They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be
     C          G      C      F                G
Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
Am                G                 F               G
And there behold, for them to view, beneath his Scottish skirt
           C        G       C      F        G        C
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
F                                C                G 
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
           C        G       C      F        G        C
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth

        C        G       C          F        G        C
They marveled for a moment, then one said we must be gone
     C          G      C      F                F        G
Let's leave a present for our friend, before we move along
Am                G                 F               G
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon, tied into a bow
     C        G       C              F        G        C
Around the bonnie star, the Scots kilt did lift and show
F                                C                G 
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
    C        G       C      F        G        C
Around the bonnie star, the Scots kilt did lift and show

        C        G       C          F        G        C
Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled toward the trees
     C          G      C      F                F        G
Behind a bush, he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees
Am                G                 F               G
And in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes
           C        G       C      F        G        C
O lad I don't know where you been but I see you won first prize
F                                C                G 
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
           C        G       C      F        G        C
O lad I don't know where you been but I see you won first prize
