I've just come down From the Isle of Skye I'm not very big and I'm awful shy And the lassies shout when I go by Donald, where's your troosers [CHORUS] Let the wind blow high Let the wind blow low Through the streets In my kilt, I'll go All the lassies say hello Donald, where's your troosers A lassie took me to a ball And it was slippery in the hall And I was feared that I would fall For I had nae on my troosers [Repeat CHORUS] Now I went down to London Town And I had some fun in the underground The ladies turned their heads around Saying, Donald, where are your trousers To wear the kilt is my delight It is not wrong I know it's right The Highlanders would get a fright If they saw me in the trousers The lassies want me every one Well, let them catch me if they can You canna take the breaks If a Highland man And I don't wear the troosers Donald, where's your troosers Donald, where's your troo Hey, Donald, where's your troosers Hey Donald, where's your troosers Yeah, hey, Donald.

Donald Wheres Your Troosers?- Andy Stewart! Funny Scottish Song! Andy Stewart (musician) Andrew "Andy" Stewart MBE (30 December 1933 – 11 October 1993) was a Scottish singer and entertainer. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1933, the son of a teacher. When he was five years old, the family moved to Perth and then to Arbroath six years later. Even in early childhood, he loved imitating people and amazed his parents with impersonations of famous singers and actors. He attended Arbroath High School and then trained as an actor at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow. Stewart's patriotic wearing of tartan and his use of stereotypical Scottish humour, throughout the 1960s, echoed the music hall style and songs of fellow Scot Sir Harry Lauder.

"Donald Where's Your Troosers? " His albums, such as Scottish Soldier, The Best of Andy Stewart and Andy Stewart's Scotland, were also popular internationally. A prolific lyricist, he penned words to many traditional Scottish tunes, e.g. In retirement, he moved back to Arbroath, where he died in 1993. Albums Singles.

The Andy Stewart Show (TV Series 1975–1976. Obituary: Andy Stewart - People - News. ANDY STEWART, the kilted minstrel, was the Englishman's image of Scotland in the Fifties and Sixties. Stewart's television performances, on The White Heather Club, and in particular at Hogmanay, featured a swinging kilt, topped by a boyish-faced lad who gave out musical propaganda for the hills, lochs, islands - and that purple heather, from which an earlier comic singer, Harry Lauder, had obtained so much mileage in the first three decades of the century.

But Stewart, a schoolmaster's son, never intended to be a new Lauder. He was studying for a career in the theatre when his gift for mimicry forced itself out. To me and others who caught him at the beginning of his career, he seemed like a Scottish version of Andy Hardy, the perky, eager, jump- about American youngster portrayed by Mickey Rooney. The White Heather Club, produced by BBC Scotland and televised throughout the network from the mid-Fifties to the early Sixties, was Stewart's niche. (Photograph omitted)
