Various texts of this song have been posted here over the years, and are quite easily found by running a search for a characteristic phrase. Often people have the wrong title for a song (or the DT does) or there are alternative titles or spellings, particularly of names, so a search for a title, though it may work, will often not be so successful.

You've been here long enough to start using that search engine for yourself now, Jim. You may not realise that threads are archived here permanently, so every one you start asking for material which is already here will stay here and make it a bit harder for people to find useful information in the future.

Here is a list of references which we already have:

JOCK STEWART -the DT file. A mix-and-match text collated from recordings by Archie Fisher (who recorded a modified arrangement of Jeannie Robertson's traditional set) and Ian McGregor; withj tune.

Help: (I'm a) A Man You Don't Meet Every Day -a long thread started by somebody who had heard the Pogues' arrangement. Contains one text (unprovenanced), some useful comments on the song's history, and a lot of pointless guff about whether or not he shot his dog...

I'm a Man You Don't Meet Everyday -another thread started by the same person. Some more background; text from the Stewarts of Blair (I think) and some overlap into discussion of Muldoon the Solid Man. Includes links to other discussions of both songs, and a broadside copy of an earlier (Stage-Irish) form of I'm a Man You Don't Meet Every Day at the Bodleian Library.

There. Easy.
