[The Pogues' Version]. ---------------------------------------. . 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 don't meet every day. I have acres of land. I have 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 come fill up your glasses. of brandy and wine. Whatever it 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. Well I took out my dog. and him I did shoot. All down in the county Kildare. So be easy and free. when you're drinking with me. I'm a man you don't meet every day. ---. These are the lyrics as they appear on the Rum Sodomy & The Lash insert.. . [Jock Stewart]. --------------------------------------. . Now my name is Jock Stewart. I'm a canny gaun man. And a roving young fellow I've been.. So be easy and free. When you're drinkin wi' me.. I'm a man you don't meet every day.. I have acres of land;. I have men at command;. I have always a shilling to spare.. Now I took out my gun. With my dog I did shoot. All down by the River Kildare. I'm a piper by trade. And a roving young blade. And many a tune I do play. Let us catch well the hours. And the minutes that fly. And we'll share them together this day. So come fill up your glasses. Of brandy and wine. And whatever the cost I will pay.. The song is an Irish narrative ballad that has been shortened to an Aberdeenshire drinking song. It is essentially Jeannie Robertson's version slightly modified by Archie Fisher in the third verse so the dog doesn't get shot. It is alternatively claimed by the Singing Stewarts to have been written for Bell's father..
