Helen Versions: So Be Easy and Free When You're Drinkin' (59* d) RE: Lyr Req: So Be Easy and Free When You're. . . 07 Feb 17


Hi all,

I never realised until I bought a 5 CD set of The Pogues albums that the tune for Jock Stewart is the old Irish tune called Ned of the Hill. The Pogues do a version called Young Ned of the Hill on their Peace and Love album. There is a song called I'm a Man You Don't Meet Every Day on their Rum Sodomy and the Lash album which is just an alternative title for Jock Stewart.

The tune is here:

O'Neill's Music of Ireland - a wonderful resource, by the way. I have the O'Neill's book and on that webpage I can also hear the midi files of the tunes as written in the book and copy the sheet music into other documents etc.

Helen
