I walked in the pub on a Friday night
Rain on my boots, nothing going right
Bartender said, "Son, what'll it be?"
I said, "Just one whiskey for lonely me"
He leaned on the bar with a crooked grin
Said, "Boy, that's a sin where my kin have been
Where I come from, there's a rule we own
Nobody here drinks all alone"
Can a Scotsman drink alone?
Hell no!
What do we do then?
Pour one more!

Drinking alone ain't Scottish, my friend
Raise up a glass and pass it again
If there's a whiskey sitting on the table tonight
Some loud drunk brother will join your fight
Pull up a chair and pour another round
Sooner or later a clan will be found
From the mountains down to the sea
Drinking alone ain't Scottish
Drink here with me

Drink it up and pass it on
Drink it up and pass it on
Drink it up and pass it on
No one drinks alone

A farmer walked in with mud on his knees
A sailor rowed up smelling like seas
A fiddler jumped up with a tune in his head
Suddenly six empty glasses instead
Someone was yelling a story too loud
Someone was singing and leading the crowd
I said, "Funny thing, I came here alone"
They laughed, "Not anymore, welcome home"
Can a Scotsman drink alone?
Hell no!
What do we do then?
Pour one more!

Drinking alone ain't Scottish, my friend
Raise up a glass and pass it again
If there's a whiskey sitting on the table tonight
Some loud drunk brother will join your fight
Pull up a chair and pour another round
Sooner or later a clan will be found
From the mountains down to the sea
Drinking alone ain't Scottish
Drink here with me

If you're walking quiet and sit by yourself
Some loud old lad will appear from the shelf
He'll slap your back with a whiskey grin
Now there's two of us drinking
Let the night begin
Can a Scotsman drink alone?
Hell no!
What do we do then?
Pour one more!

Drink it up and pass it on
Drink it up and pass it on
Drink it up and pass it on
Drink it up and pass it on
Drink it up and pass it on
Drink it up and pass it on
No one drinks alone
