lyrics

O my name is Jock Stewart
I'm a canny guan man
Tho a rovin' young fellow they say

Chorus: So be easy and free
when you're drinking wi' me
I'm a man you'll not meet every day

I'm a piper by trade
And a ramblin' young blade,
And there's many a tune I can play
Chorus

I've got acres of land,
And I've men at command
And I've many a shilling to pay
Chorus

Oh it's oft have I sat
Wi' both bottle and friend
As we talked until dawn's early ray
Chorus

Let us catch well the hours
And the minutes that fly
Let us share them so weel while we may
Chorus

So come fill up your glass
Wi' whiskey or wine
And whatever the price I will pay
Chorus
