Now, my name is Jock Stewart
I'm a canny gaun man,
And a roving young fellow, I've been.
Chorus:
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.
Chorus
Now, I took out my gun,
With my dog I did shoot,
All down by the River Kildare.
Chorus
I'm a piper by trade,
And a roving young blade,
And many a tune I do play.
Chorus
Let us catch well the hours,
And the minutes that fly,
And we'll share them together this day.
Chorus
So, come fill up your glasses
Of brandy and wine,
And whatever the cost, I will pay.
