Wee Doch an Doris

Sir Harry Lauder
Just a wee doch an doris
Just a wee drap that's a (dram)
Just a wee doch an doris
Before you gang awa(go away)
There's a wee wifey waitin
In a wee But 'n Ben (small house)
If you can say
"It's a braw bricht moonlicht nicht"(beautiful moonlit night)
Then you're a richt de ye ken(do you understand)

It is whisky rather than beer.

@Youthuck What would be really funny would be if you kept repeating it trying to sing it faster each time!

Okay I remember this from when I was 4 my mom told me what " moon litch nit" meant it's moon lit night and "wee deoch an doris" is something like just a bit more beer.

My mon used to use this as a lullaby... Now I found that it's a drinking song... Still good for a lullaby
