[Verse 1]
G                        C           G        D      G
Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair

     G                 C                        G   Gsus  G         D
And one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share

      C            G                C       G       D
He fumbled round until he could no longer keep his feet

           G      D     G       C        G    D         G
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
[Refrain]
C                                 G              D
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh

      G      D     G       C        G    D         G
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
[Verse 2]
G                     C                G        D         G
About that time two young and lovely girls just happened by

     G               C           G  Gsus G       D
And one says to the other with a twinkle in her eye

 C                    G         C           G        D
See young sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built

  G      D        G          C          G      D         G
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt
[Refrain]
C                                 G              D
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh

   G      D        G         C         G       D         G
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt
[Verse 3]
G                        C                G    D        G
They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be

G              C             G  Gsus  G         D
Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see

      C                G                C        G         D
And there behold, for them to view, beneath his Scottish skirt

      G      D     G            C         G    D         G
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
[Refrain]
C                                 G              D
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh

      G      D     G            C         G    D         G
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
[Verse 4]
G                     C                G      D       G
They marveled for a moment, then one said we must be gone

       G               C                  G Gsus  G    D
Let's leave a present for our friend, before we move along

C                      G                C     G      D
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon, tied into a bow

 G           D     G         C     G        D        G
Around the bonnie star, the Scots kilt did lift and show
[Refrain]
C                                 G              D
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh

 G           D     G         C     G        D        G
Around the bonnie star, the Scots kilt did lift and show
[Verse 5]
G                         C                 G         D        G
Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled toward the trees

G                   C                  G  Gsus  G       D
Behind a bush, he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees

C                   G                C       G        D
And in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes

   G      D         G         C          G        D         G
O lad I don't know where you been but I see you won first prize
[Refrain]
C                                 G              D
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh

   G      D         G         C          G        D         G
O lad I don't know where you been but I see you won first prize
