Well a ^EScotsman clad in ^Akilt left a ^Bbar one evening ^Efair And ^Eone could tell by ^Ahow he walked that he’d ^Edrunk more than his ^Bshare He ^Afumbled round un^Etil he could no ^Alonger keep his ^Bfeet Then he ^Estumbled off in^Ato the grass to ^Bsleep beside the ^Estreet ^ARing ding diddle iddle ^AI de oh ^Ering di diddly I ^Boh He ^Estumbled off in^Ato the grass to ^Bsleep beside the ^Estreet

A^Ebout that time two ^Ayoung and lovely ^Bgirls just happened ^Eby And ^Eone says to the ^Aother with a ^Etwinkle in her ^Beye ^A
See yon sleeping^E Scotsman so^A strong and handsome^B built I ^Ewonder if it’s ^Atrue what they don’t ^Bwear beneath the ^Ekilt ^ARing ding diddle iddle ^AI de oh ^Ering di diddly I ^Boh I ^Ewonder if it’s ^Atrue what they don’t ^Bwear beneath the ^Ekilt

They ^Ecrept up on that ^Asleeping Scotsman ^Bquiet as could ^Ebe ^E
Lifted up his^A kilt about an^E inch so they could^B see 
And^A there behold for^E them to view^A beneath his Scottish^B skirt 
Was^E nothing more than^A God had graced him^B with upon his^E birth ^ARing ding diddle iddle ^AI de oh ^Ering di diddly I ^Boh Was ^Enothing more than ^AGod had graced him ^Bwith upon his ^Ebirth

They ^Emarveled for a ^Amoment then one ^Bsaid we must be ^Egone 
Let’s^E leave a present^A for our friend^E before we move^B along As a ^Agift they left a ^Eblue silk ribbon ^Atied into a ^Bbow A^Eround the bonnie ^Astar the Scots ^Bkilt did lift and ^Eshow ^A
Ring ding diddle iddle^A I de oh^E ring di diddly I^B oh 
^EAround the bonnie^A star the Scots^B kilt did lift and^E show

Now the ^EScotsman woke to ^Anature’s call and ^Bstumbled toward the ^Etrees Be^Ehind a bush he ^Alifts his kilt and ^Egawks at what he ^Bsees 
And^A in a startled^E voice he says to^A what’s before his^B eyes O ^Elad I don’t know ^Awhere you been but I ^Bsee you won first ^Eprize ^ARing ding diddle iddle ^AI de oh ^Ering di diddly I ^Boh 
O^E lad I don’t know^A where you been but I^B see you won first^E prize
