Sleeping Scotsman, The Trad. Oh, a Scotsman dressed all in his kilt left the bar one evening fair. you could tell by the way he walked that he’d drunk more than his share. He staggerd ‘round until he could no longer keep his feet. Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street. Ring-ding-diddle-didde-i-dio, Ring-di-diddle-i-o Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street. Now about that time two young and lovely girls where passing by. One said to the other with a twinkle in her eye. See one sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built. I wonder if it’s true that he wears nothing neath his kilt. Ring-ding-diddle-didde-i-dio, Ring-di-diddle-i-o I wonder if it’s true that he wears nothing neath his kilt. So they crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as can be. And lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see. Lo and behold for them to view, beneath his Scottish skirt. Was nothin’ more than God had graced him with, upon his birth. Ring-ding-diddle-didde-i-dio, Ring-di-diddle-i-o Was nothin’ more than God had graced him with, upon his birth. They marveled for a minute then one said, “We must be gone. Let’s leave him a souvenir before we travel on.” As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow. Around the bonnie spar the Scott’s mans kilt did lift and show. Ring-ding-diddle-didde-i-dio, Ring-di-diddle-i-o Around the bonnie star the Scott’s mans kilt did lift and show. Now the Scotsman rose to nature’s call and he headed for the trees. He lifted up his kilt, an then he gawks at what he sees. And in his drunken voice he says to what’s before his eyes. “Oh, lad I don’t know where you’ve been, but I see you’ve won first prize.” Ring-ding-diddle-didde-i-dio, Ring-di-diddle-i-o “Oh, lad I don’t know where you’ve been, but I see you’ve won first prize.” 42

I have come to court your daughter Mary of the golden hair I have gold and I have silver I have goods beyond compare I will buy her silk and satin And a gold ring for her hand I will buy for her a mansion she’ll have servants to command Step it out Mary… Oh kind sir I have a soldier, And I pledge to him my hand I don’t want your gold nor silver I don’t want you house nor land. Mary’s father spoke up sharply You will do as you are told You are to be married on next Sunday and you will were the ring of gold step it out Mary … In the village of Kildoran there is a deep stream running by They found Mary there on Sunday She had drowned with a soldierboy In the village there is music I can hear her daddy say Step it out Mary my fine daughter Sunday is your wedding day step it out Mary my fine daughter step it out Mary if you can, step it out Mary my fine daughter Sunday is your wedding day. 43
