Thread Name: Origins: Jock Stewart-Man You Don't Meet Every Day
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I'm a man you don't meet every day
Greetings. You may be looking for this one, taken from a Tannahill Weaver Web Page:

Well my name is Jock Stewart, I'm a canny gaun man
Though a rovin' young fellow I've been

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

And its oft have I sat with both bottle and friend
Is there ae man could e'er ask for more?

Chorus

Let us catch well the hours and the minutes that fly
Let us share them sae weel while we may

Chorus

So come fill up your glass with whisky or wine
And whatever the price I will pay

Chorus
