A WEE DOCHIN DORIS LYRIC                 

 

There's a good auld Scottish custom 

That has stood the test of time. 

It's a custom that's been carried out 

In ev'ry land and clime. 

Where brother Scots foregather, 

It's aye, the usual thing: 

Just before we say "Good nicht!" 

We raise our cups and sing: 


Chorus 


Just a wee deoch an' doris, 

Just a wee drap, that's a'. 

Just a wee deoch an' doris, 

Before we gang awa'. 

There's a wee wifey waiting, 

And a wee but in vain. 

If you can say "It's a braw, bricht, 

Moonlicht nicht," 

Well you're a' richt, d'ye ken! 


I like a man that is a man, 

A man that's straight and fair: 

The sort o' man that will and can 

In all things do his share. 

I like a man, a jolly man, 

The sort o' man, you know, 

The chap that slaps your back and says, 

"Man, Jock, afore we go . . . 


Chorus
