Arthur Godfrey used to have a regular on his radio show who would sing this 3 or 4 times a year - used to love it.A Wee Deoch an Dorus - from 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
It's aye, the usual thing.
Just before we say goodnight,
We raise our cups and sing:
CHORUS
"Just a wee deoch an dorus,
Just a wee dram that's a'.
Just a wee deoch an dorus,
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 "before you go...
CHORUS
There is a star whose beaming ray
Is shed on every clime.
It shines by night, it shines by day,
And ne'er grows dim wi' time.
It rose upon the banks o' Ayr,
It shone on Doons clear stream.
A hundred years are gane and mair,
Yet brighter grows its beam
CHORUS
