                                   A                                      E                    B7And one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share
A                                                  E                            B7He fumbled round until he could no longer keep his feet
E                           B7                      A       B7            EAnd he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street

A                                                E                        B7Ring ding diddlediddle ay de o, ring di diddly ay o

A                                        See yon sleeping Scotsman
E                                      B7 So strong and handsome built
E                     A                               B7                       EI wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt

E                                AThey crept up on that sleeping Scotsman
B7                   EQuiet as could be
                  A                           E                    B7And lifted up his Kilt an inch so they could see
A                                             E                                       B7And there behold for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt
E                            A                                       B7                  EWas nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth

E                               AThey marveled for a moment
                B7                      E Then one said we must be gone
                     A                      E                                  B7Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along
A                                           E                           B7As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow
E                            A                                   B7               EAround the bonnie star the Scotsman's kilt did lift and show

A                                                 E                         B7Ring ding diddlediddle ay de o, ring di diddly ay o

E                                          ANow the Scotsman woke to natures call
        B7                          EAnd stumbled toward a tree
                               ABehind the bush he lifts his kilt
         E                         B7 And gawks at what he sees
A                                         And in a startled voice he says
E                               B7To what's before his eyes
E                        A                                      B7                       EAch, lad I don't no where ya've been but I see ya won first prize
