Em 
Well a  (E minor) Scotsman clad in kilt left
C 
the bar one evening  (C major) fair
Em 
 (E minor) And one could tell by how he walked that
A 
D 
he drank more  (A major) than his  (D major) share
A 
G 
He fumbled  (A major) around un (G major) til he
Em 
G 
could no longer  (E minor) keep his  (G major) feet
Then he stumbled off into the grass
Em 
to sleep beside the  (E minor) street
A 
Ring- ding-  (A major) diddle- diddle hai- dee-
Em

Em 
D 
 (E minor) ho   (G major) ring- di-  (E minor) diddly- ai-  (D major) oh

C 
D 
 (G major) He  (C major) stumbled  (D major) off into the grass to

sleep beside the  (E minor) street
About that time two young and
C 
lovely girls just  (C major) happened by
Em 
 (E minor) And one says to the other with
G 
D 
a  (G major) twinkle in her  (D major) eye
A 
C 
G 
 (A major) See yon sleeping  (C major) Scots (G major) man so
E 
strong an (E major) d handsome built

 (D major) Ring- ding- diddle- diddle  (A major) hai-

G 
A 
I  (G major) wonder if it's true what  (A major) they don't
D 
E 
wear be (D major) neath the  (E major) kilt
She crept up on that sleeping
D 
G 
 (D major) Scotsman as  (G major) quiet as could be
Em 
And  (E minor) lifted up his kilt about
G 
D 
 (G major) an inch so they could  (D major) see
G 
And there behold unto their  (G major) view
Em 
E 
beneath his  (E minor) Scottish  (E major) skirt
G 
D 
 (G major) Was nothing  (D major) more than God had graced
Bm 
D 
him with upon his  (B minor) birth  (D major) 
A 
 (A major) Ring- ding- diddle- diddle hai-
C 
G 
D 
 (C major) dee- ho  (G major) ring- di-  (D major) diddly- ai- oh
Was nothing more than God had graced
A 
D 
him  (A major) with  (D major) upon his birth
Em 
D 
 (E minor) They marveled for a  (D major) moment than one
C 
said we  (C major) must be gone
Em 
E 
 (E minor) Let's leave a  (E major) present for our
Em 
G 
D 
 (E minor) friend before we  (G major) move  (D major) along
A 
G 
As a  (A major) gift they left a  (G major) blue silk ribbon
Em 
tied  (E minor) in  to a bow
C 
D 
E 
 (C major) Around the  (D major) bonny star the  (E major) Scot's
G 
kilt did lift and show  (G major) 
A 
 (A major) Ring- ding- diddle- diddle hai- dee- ho
G 
D 
 (G major) ring- di-  (D major) diddly- ai- oh
Around the bonny star the
E 
D 
 (E major) Scot's  (D major) kilt did lift and show
E 
 (E major) Now the Scotsman woke to nature's
D 
E 
C 
 (D major) call and  (E major) stumbled  (C major) towards the trees
E 
Em 
 (E major) Behind the bush he  (E minor) lifts his kilt
A 
D 
and  (A major) gasps at  (D major) what he sees
C 
A 
G 
And in a  (C major) startled  (A major) voice he  (G major) says
to what's before his eyes
Bm 
D 
G 
Oh  (B minor) lad I  (D major) don't know where you  (G major) been but
D 
I  (D major) see you won first prize
A 
 (A major) Ring- ding- diddle- diddle hai-
D 
dee- ho ring- di- diddly- ai-  (D major) oh
Oh lad I don't know where
you been but I see you won first prize!
