Lyrics:
My name is Jock Stewart, I'm a canny gaun man
And a rovin' young fellow I've been
So be easy and free
When you're drinkin' with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

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

I have acres of land, I have men at command
And I've always a shillin' to spare
So be easy and free
When you're drinkin' with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

With me dog and me gun, I go out for to shoot
All along the green banks o' the Spey
So be easy and free
When you're drinkin' with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

So come fill up your glasses, With brandy and wine
And whatever the cost, I will pay
So be easy and free
When you're drinkin' with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day
