Harry Lauder a wee doec an doris

Speach
There's a good old Scottish custom that has stood the test o'time,
It's a custom that's been carried out in every land and clime.
When a brother Scots are gathered, it's aye the usual thing,
Just before we say good nicht, we fill out cups and sing...
Just a wee deoch an doris, just a wee drop, that's all.
Just a wee deoch and doris afor ye gang awa.
There's a wee wifie waitin' in a wee but an ben.
If you can say It's a braw bricht moonlit nicht the nicht,
Then yer a'richt ye ken.
Just a wee deoch an doris, just a wee drop, that's all.
Just a wee deoch and doris afor ye gang awa.
There's a wee wifie waitin' in a wee but an ben.
If you can say It's a braw bricht moonlit nicht the nicht,
Then yer a'richt ye ken.
I like a man who is a man, a man that's straight and fair,
the kind of man that will and can, in all things do his share,
Och, I like a man a jolly man, the kind of man, you know the chap that slaps your back and says Jock, just before ye go.
Just a wee deoch an doris, just a wee drop, that's all.
Just a wee deoch and doris afor ye gang awa.
There's a wee wifie waitin' in a wee but an ben.
If you can say It's a braw bricht moonlit nicht the nicht,
Then yer a'richt ye ken.
Just a wee deoch an doris, just a wee drop, that's all.
Just a wee deoch and doris afor ye gang awa.
There's a wee wifie waitin' in a wee but an ben.
If you can say It's a braw bricht moonlit nicht the nicht,
Then yer a'richt ye ken.
