Jock Stewart

by Ewan McLennan

on Transatlantic Sessions - Series 6, Vol. Three (2014), Rags & Robes (2010)

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

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

It's often I've sat with both bottle and friend
It's there that a man could never ask for more
So be easy and free when you're drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

Let us catch awhile the hours and the minutes let fly
Let us share this surreal while we may
So be easy and free when you're drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

Come fill up your glass with whiskey or wine
And whatever the costs, I will pay
So be easy and free when you're drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

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
