The Irish Rovers – The Drunk Scotsman (Guitar)

     G                C             D               G
Well Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair

G                 C                        G                   D
One could tell by how he walked, that he'd drunk more than his share.

   C             G               C               D
He stumbled on until he could no longer keep his feet,

        G              C                D                G
Then he staggered off into the grass to sleep beside the street.

C                                G                D
Ring ding diddle iddle I dee oh, ring di diddle I Oh

   G              C                D                G
He staggered off into the grass to sleep beside the street.

     G       C                D                   G
Later on two young and lovely girls just happened by,

G               C            G              D
One says to the other with a twinkle in her eye.

C                G            C                   D
See yon sleeping Scotsman, so strong and handsome built,

     G           C                    D               G
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt.

C                                G                D
Ring ding diddle iddle I dee oh, ring di diddle I Oh

     G           C                    D               G
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt.

     G                C                 D              G
They crept up to that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be,

G             C              G                   D
Lifted up his kilt above the waist so they could see.

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

     G                C                  D             G
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth.

C                                G                D
Ring ding diddle iddle I dee oh, ring di diddle I Oh

     G                C                  D             G
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth.

     G              C               D                 G
They marveled for a moment then one said we'd best be gone,

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

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

     G            C                 D            G
Around the bonnie star of the Scots kilt lifting show.

C                                G                D
Ring ding diddle iddle I dee oh, ring di diddle I Oh

     G            C                 D            G
Around the bonnie star of the Scots kilt lifting show.

     G                C                D                  G
The Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards a tree,

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

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

     G            C                       D                    G
My friend I dunno where you've been but I see you've won first prize.

C                                G                D
Ring ding diddle iddle I dee oh, ring di diddle I Oh

     G            C                       D                    G
My friend I dunno where you've been but I see you've won first prize.
