First things first, Jock stewart was not Belle's father, he was the father of Alec, her husband. Belle's maiden name was McGregor. Jock Stewart Now my name is Jock Stewart, I'm a canny gaun man, And a roving young fellow I've been. Chorus: 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
