Hi UYK/Alvee
Is there music to these Charming Words? lol.. My self and a friend are looking for Chords?

Oh a Scotsman tried and true left the bar one evening fair

And one could tell by how he walked he'd had more than his share

He stumbled round 'til he could no longer keep his feet

Then he stumbled off unto the grass to sleep beside a stream.

Ring-ding diddle diddle aye-dee-oh

Ring di-diddle-aye-oh

Oh he stumbled off unto the grass to sleep beside a stream.


Well about that time two young and lovely ladies happened by

And one said to the other, with a twinkle in her eye

"Oh see yon sleepy Scotsman, so strong and handsome built?"

"Well I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilts."


Ring-ding diddle diddle aye-dee-oh

Ring di-diddlee-aye-oh

"Oh I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilts."


Well they snuck up to that sleeping Scotsman, quiet as could be

And they lifted up his kilt a little bit so they might see

And there for them to behold, beneath that Scottish skirt,

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


Ring-ding diddle diddle aye-dee-oh

Ring di-diddlee-aye-oh

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


Well they marveled for a moment, then one said, "We must be gone."

"Well let's leave a present for our friend before we move along."

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

Around the bonnie sword the

Scotsman's kilt beneath did show.

Ring-ding diddle diddle aye-dee-oh


Ring di-diddlee-aye-oh

Around the bonnie sword the Scotsman's kilt beneath did show.


Well the Scotsman a little later, he awoke to nature's call

And as he lifted up his kilt, what he got and what he saw,

And in a strangled voice, he said, "I can't believe me eyes!"

"I don't know where ye been, me lad, but I see ye took first prize!"


Ring-ding diddle diddle aye-dee-oh

Ring di-diddlee-aye-oh

"I don't know where ye been, me lad, but I see ye took first prize!

Hi Don Corleone,
Yes i did sleep well thank you! when i start writing i forget all about time and the world!
I did see the All blacks on a few occasions! I love there famous " Haka! My Son who has traveled a lot has been to Fiji! North of the islands! which is near you Samoans! He also loved Newzealand! He has traveled quite extensively, and i have many lovely gifts from these exotic places. My favourite being! A huge hand made beautiful Didgeridoo from Australia.  Ive been to see The Aussie Rules here as my son is a referee! No name calling now! TE HE! There pussy cats on the pitch compared to the all blacks!
So you have a friend here? Its the Cailíns beguiling ways that keep the visitors here! Magical powers and potions. lol
I think as islanders we are probably alike. Cut off for so long from the mainlands. We welcome everybody. Apart from being social were also a nosey lot.. Now Don anytime you feel like swopping for a year, i would endure the golden sands and blue lagoons of Samoa and you would be so welcome to our beautiful "at the moment rain sodden" Emerald isle!

Your name is found all over Scotland and Northern Ireland! Some reading for you! through this link!

Whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed.

Murphy's golden rule: whoever has the gold makes the rules.

Anything you try to fix will take longer and cost you more than you thought.

no matter how perfect things are made to appear, Murphy's law will take effect and screw it up.
