Irish Rovers - Under The Scotman's Kilt
A Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair
And one could tell by how we walked that he drunk more than his share
He fumbled ’round until he could no longer keep his feet
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
Ring ding diddle diddle i de oh ring di diddly i oh
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
About that time two young and lovely girls just happend by
And 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”…
They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be
Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
And there behold, for them to see, beneath his Scottish skirt
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
They marveled 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
Now the Scotsman woke to nature’s call and stumbled towards a tree
Behind a bush, he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees
And in a startled voice he says to what’s before his eyes
O, lad I don’t know where you been but I see you won first prize!”
And one could tell by how we walked that he drunk more than his share
He fumbled ’round until he could no longer keep his feet
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
Ring ding diddle diddle i de oh ring di diddly i oh

About that time two young and lovely girls just happend by
And one says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
