 A Man You Don't Meet Every Day - Jock Stewart    (Trad)

1) Oh my name is Jock Stewart I'm a canny young man
And a roving young fellow I've been
So be easy and free when you're drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

2) I have acres of land I have men at command
I have always a shilling to spend
So be easy and free when you're drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

3) Well I walk with my dog, and my gun for to shoot
Down along by the banks o' the Tay
So be easy and free when you're drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

4) I'm a piper by trade, I'm a ramblin' young blade
And 'tis many the tune I do play
So be easy and free when you're piping with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

5) Well it’s often I’ve sat, with both a bottle and friend,
Is there a man, could ever ask for more?
So be easy and free when you're drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

6) So come fill up your glasses with brandy and wine
And what ere’s the cost I will pay
So be easy and free when you're drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

7) Oh my name is Jock Stewart I'm a canny young man
And a roving young fellow I've been
So be easy and free when you're drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day
