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.
Chorus

I'm a roving young blade,                                                                I'm a piper by trade,                                                                And mony's the tune I can play

Chorus
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 for to shoot,
All long by the banks of the Tay.

Chorus
So, come fill up your glasses,
Of brandy and wine,
And whatever the cost, I will pay.

Chorus                                                                                                                                     Repeat first verse and chorus
