The Day We Went to Rothesay, O! Chorus Diddum a doo a dum a day, Diddum a doo a dy dum do Diddum a doo a dum a day, The night we went tae Rothsay-o. 2. A soldier lad named Ru'glen Will, Wha' regiment's lyin' at Barn Hill Went off wi' a tanner to get a gill In a public hoose in Rothsay-o Says he: "I think I'd like to sing." Says I "y'll no do sic a thing!" "So clear the room and I'll make a ring And I'll fecht y'all in Rothsay-o!" Chorus 3. In search of lodgin's we did slide To find a place where we could bide There was eighty-twa of us inside In a single room in Rothsay-o! We all lay doon t'take our ease, When somebody happend for to sneeze And he wakened half a million fleas In a lodgin' hoose in Rothsay-o! Chorus 4. There were several different kinds of bugs, Some had feet like dyer's clogs And they sat on the bed and they cockit their lugs And cried: "Hurrah! for Rothsay-o!" Says I: "I think it's time to slope!" For the polis wouldn'a let us stop, So we went and joined the Band O'Hope And said farewell tae Rothsay-o! Chorus
