Thread Name: Lyr Req: A Man You Don't Meet Every Day
Subject: A Man You Don't Meet Every Day
First couple of lines go: "Oh, my name is Jock Stweart, I'm a canny gaun man And a roving young fellow I've been."

From the content, one can pretty much see what the song's about but precisely what do the words "canny gaun" mean?
