Mike Cross - The Scotsman Chords

_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ A Scotsman [F] clad in kilt left [D] a bar one evening [C] fair,
And one could [F] tell by how he [C] walked he'd drunk more than [G] his share.
[F] He stumbled on until he [C] could no longer [G] keep his feet,
[C] Then he staggered off into the grass to sleep beside the street.
[F] Ring-ding-deedle-deedle-i-dee [C]-oh, ring-di [A]-deedle-oh-dee,
[C] He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street. _ _ _ _ _ _
Later [G] on two young and [G] lovely girls just [C] happened by,
[G] One says [F] to the other [C] with a twinkle [G] in her eye,
[F] You see on sleeping [C] Scotsman's a strong and [G] handsome bill,
[C] I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt.
[F] Ring-ding-deedle-deedle-i-dee [C]-oh, ring-di [G]-deedle-oh-dee,
[C] I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt.
[F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ They creeped up to [F] the sleeping [G] Scotsman quiet [C] as could be,
Lifted [F] up his kilt above [C] the waist so they [G] could see,
[F] And there behold for them to view [C] beneath his [G] Scottish skirt,
[C] Was nothing but what God had graced him with upon his birth.
[F] Ring-ding-deedle-deedle-i-dee [C]-oh, ring-di [G]-deedle-oh-dee,
[C] Nothing but what God had graced him with upon his birth. _ _
_ _ _ They marvelled [F] for a moment, then [G] one said we'd [C] best be gone,
But let's leave a [F] present for our [C] friend before we [G] move along.
[F] So as a gift they left a blue silk [C] ribbon tied [G] into a bow,
[C] Around the bonnie star of the Scots kilt lift and show.
[F] Ring-ding-deedle-deedle-i [C]-dee-oh, ring [G]-di-deedle-oh-dee,
[C] Around the bonnie star of the Scots kilt lift and show.
[F] _ _ [C] _ _
[Em] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ The Scotsman [F] woke to nature's [G] call and stumbled [C] toward the tree,
[G] Behind a [F] bush he lifts his [C] kilt and he gawks at [G] what he sees,
[F] Then in a startled voice he [C] says to what's [G] before his eyes,
_ _ My [C] friend, I don't know where you've been, but I see you've won first prize.
[F] Ring-ding-deedle-deedle-i-dee [C]-oh, ring-di [G]-deedle-oh-dee,
[C] Friend, I don't know where you've been, but I see you've won first [F] prize. _
