Jim Stafford - The scotsman

^CWell a Scotsman clad in kil^Ft left the bar one evening ^G7fair ^C And one could tell by how he walked^F that he'd drunk more than his share ^{C G7 F}He fumbled round until he could no longer keep his ^Cfeet ^{G7 C}And he stumbled off into the^G7 grass to sleep beside t^Fhe stree^G7t ^C

^FRing ding diddlediddle ay de o, ring di diddly ay^C o ^{G7 C}And he stumbled off into the^G7 grass to sleep beside t^Fhe stree^G7t ^C

^CAbout that time two young^F and lovely girls just happened by^{G7 C} One said to the other wit^Fh a twinkle in her^C eye ^{G7 F}See yon sleeping Scotsman ^CSo strong and handsome built ^{G7 C}I wonder if it's true ^Fwhat they don't wear beneath the^G7 kilt ^C

^FRing ding diddlediddle ay de o, ring di diddly ay ^Co ^{G7 C}I wonder if it's true w^Fhat they don't wear beneath the^G7 kilt ^C

^CThey crept up on that sleeping Sc^Fotsman ^G7Quiet as could be ^C And lifted up his ^FKilt an inch so they could s^Cee ^{G7 F}And there behold for them to view beneath his ^CScottish skirt ^{G7 C}Was nothing more than God had^F graced him with upon his birth ^{G7 C}

^FRing ding diddlediddle ay de o, ring di diddly ay ^Co ^{G7 C}Was nothing more than God had^F graced him with upon his birth ^{G7 C}

^CThey marveled for a moment ^F Then one said we^G7 must be gone ^C Let's leave a present^F for our friend before ^Cwe move along ^{G7 F}As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied ^Cinto a bow ^{G7 C}Around the bonnie star the Sc^Fotsman's kilt did lift and show ^{G7 C}

^FRing ding diddlediddle ay de o, ring di diddly ay ^Co ^{G7 C}Around the bonnie star the Sc^Fotsman's kilt did lift and show ^{G7 C}

^CNow the Scotsman woke to natures call ^F And stum^G7bled toward a tree ^C Behind the bush he lifts his ki^Flt And gawks^C at what he sees ^{G7 F}And in a startled voice he says ^CTo what's before his eyes ^{G7 C}Ach, lad I don't no where^F ya've been but I see ya won first priz^G7e ^C
