Please Identify this Scottish song

[Mavericker]

I recall hearing on the radio A while ago a song that went something like this (I don't know all the words, so I'm posting the melody and syllables)":

"I hear the bagpipes playing,
DO-DEE DEE-DEE-DA-DEE-DO
DO-DA DO-DEE-DEE-DEE and yell howdy do.

DA-DA DA-DEE-DA-DEE-DEE
DEE-DEE-DA-DEE-DA-DEE-DA
DEE-DA-DA-DEE-DEE-DEE-DEE
DEE DA-DEE do".

I think there was mention of a lady's name and mountains in the lyrics. What song was this?

[Tartan Paint]

I think somebody has been drunk when they penned that one. It would maybe help if you had the lady's name handy.

I think I know that song!
De Camptown ladies sing dis song -- Doo-dah! doo-dah!
De Camptown racetrack five miles long -- Oh! doo-dah day!
I come down dah wid my hat caved in -- Doo-dah! doo-dah!
I go back home wid a pocket full of tin -- Oh! doo-dah day!

Gwine to run all night! Gwine to run all day!
I'll bet my money on de bob-tail nag -- Somebody bet on de bay!

De long tail filly and de big black hoss -- Doo-dah! doo-dah!
Dey fly de track and dey both cut across -- Oh! doo-dah day!
De blind hoss sticken in a big mud hole -- Doo-dah! doo-dah!
Can't touch bottom wid a ten foot pole -- Oh! doo-dah day!

Gwine to run all night! Gwine to run all day!
I'll bet my money on de bob-tail nag -- Somebody bet on de bay!

Old muley cow come on to de track -- Doo-dah! doo-dah!
De bob-tail fling her ober his back -- Oh! doo-dah day!
Den fly along like a rail-road car -- Doo-dah! doo-dah!
Runnin' a race with a shootin' star -- Oh! doo-dah day!

Gwine to run all night! Gwine to run all day!
I'll bet my money on de bob-tail nag -- Somebody bet on de bay!

Seen dem flyin' on a ten mile heat -- Doo-dah! doo-dah!
Round de race track, den repeat -- Oh! doo-dah day!
I win my money on de bob-tail nag -- Doo-dah! doo-dah!
I keep my money in an old tow-bag -- Oh! doo-dah day!

Gwine to run all night! Gwine to run all day!
I'll bet my money on de bob-tail nag -- Somebody bet on de bay!

Or could this be it?

de do do do, de da da da
is all I want to say to you
de do do do, de da da da
their innocence will pull me through
de do do do, de da da da
is all I want to say to you
de do do do, de da da da
they're meaningless and all that's true

Thanks! That was the best laugh I have had in a while!

[Polwarth]

It could be any of the 'hee drum, ho drum' songs
