The Drunk Scotsman
Pagina 483 • Engelstalige liederen
Well a Scotsman clad in kilt
Left a bar one evening fair
And one could tell by how he walked
That he'd 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 view,
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 Scots kilt did lift and show
Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call
And stumbled towards a tree
Behind a bush, he lift 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've been
But I see you won first prize"
