       G              D           G         C
Oh my name is Jock Stewart I'm a canny gun man
       G            D           G  D
And a roving young fellow I've been
       G         D                G            C
So be easy and free when you're drinkin' with me
       G             D          G D
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 drinkin' 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 drinkin' 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 drinkin' 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 drinkin' with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

So be easy and free when you're drinkin' with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day
