lyrics

A MAN YOU WON'T MEET EVERYDAY

Oh my name is Jock Stewart I'm a canny gun 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 won't meet every day

I'm piper by trade, I'm a fine, roving blade
And it's many a tune I can play
So be easy and free when you're drinking with me
I'm a man you won't meet every day

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

So let's catch well the hours and the minutes that fly
And we'll share them together this day
So be easy and free when you're drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day
