A Wee Docht and Doris (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 "before you go". &c 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 &c filename[ DOCHDORS ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY===
