Harry Lauder - A wee deoch an doris

There's a g^Good old Scottish custom, that has stood the test of time, it's a ^Ccustom that’s been ^Gcarried out in ev'ry^D land and clime. Where broth^Ger Scots fore-gather, it's aye the usual thing, just be^Dfore they say guid-nicht, ^Awe fill our c^Dups ^D7and sing.

Just a^G wee deoch-an-doris, just a wee yin that's a', just ^Ca wee deoch-a^Gn-doris before we^D gang a-wa'. There'^Gs a wee wifie waitin', in ^Ca wee but an ben, if yo^Gu can say, "It's a ^Cbraw bricht mo^Gonlicht nicht",^A ye a^D'rich^Gt ye ken

I like a^G man who is a man, a man who's straight and fair, the sort^C of man who will an^Gd can, in all things d^Do his share. I like a^G man, a jolly man, the sort o' man you know, ye ken. the chap^D who slaps your back and says "^AHere Jock, ^Dbefore^D7 you go.”

Just a^G wee deoch-an-doris, just a wee yin that's a', just a^C wee deoch-an-^Gdoris before we g^Dang a-wa'. There'^Gs a wee wifie waitin', in a w^Cee but an ben, if you^G can say, "It's a br^Caw bricht moonlic^Ght nicht", ^Aye a'r^Dicht^G ye ken
