Help with I dentifying a song

We went on a civil war re-enactment train ride a week ago and the actors sang a song that I have been trying to identify ever since.

It may have went something like:

A la weighto jaca a la weighto (this is what it sounded like to us atleast)

they then proceeded with

do we have a three day pass, yes we have a three day pass
do we have a hotel room, yes we have a hotel room
do we have the colonel's daughter, yes we have the colonel's daughter
do we have some real bad wine, yes we have some real bad wine

then it would go back to

a la weighto (sp*) jaca a la weighto

"Alouette, gentille Alouette"

They say there's a boat on the river
They say that it's loaded with beer...

Alouette, gentille Alouette
Alouette, je te plumerai


Actually, "Alouette, gentille Alouette" is a French song, but in this case the verse is put into a drinking one.

That is the one! Now just having problems locating the version with the alt english lyrics.

Do you also know the name of this one?



Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair
And one could tell by how we walked that he drunk more than his share
He fumbled round until he could no longer keep his feet
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street

About that time two young and lovely girls just happend by
And one says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
See yon sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt

They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be
Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
And there behold, for them to see, beneath his Scottish skirt
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth

They marveled for a moment, then one said we must be gone
Let's leave a present for our friend, before we move along
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon, tied into a bow
Around the bonnie star, the Scots kilt did lift and show
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
Around the bonnie star, the Scots kilt did lift and show

Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards a tree
Behind a bush, he lift his kilt and gawks at what he sees
And in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes.
O lad I don't know where you been but I see you won first prize
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
O lad I don't know where you been but I see you won first prize




Looking back it was pretty innapropriate to be singing these songs with so many children around.
