(Popularized, at least, by Harry Lauder)
There's a good old Scottish custom
That has stood the test of time
Its a custom that's been carried out
In every land and clime
Wherever Scots forgather
Its aye the usual thing
Just before we say goodnight,
We raise our cups and sing
Just a wee docht and doris,
Just a wee dram that's a'
Just a wee docht and doris,
Before we gang awa'
There's a wee wife awaiting
In a wee butt and ben
If you can say its a braw bricht
Moon licht nicht
Well you're all right, you ken.
I like a man, that is a man,
A man that's straight and fair
A sort of man who will and can,
In all things do his share
I like a man, a jolly man,
The sort of man you know
The kind of chap that slaps your back
And says
