A MAN WHO EATS MEAT EVERY DAY
(Traditional. Rewrites by Dónal Thompson)

My name is Jock Stewart
I'm a canny young man
And a handsome young rover I've been.
But give me some veal
When you're dining with me
I'm a man who eats meat every day.

I'm a piper by trade
I'm a dashing young blade
And it's many the tunes I can play.
But before a tin whistle
I'd chew on some gristle
I'm a man who eats meat everyday.

I have acres of land
I have men to command
And I've always a shilling to pay
For a pint of good Guinness
And some pork chops to finish
I'm a man who eats meat everyday.

I took up my dog
And him I did shoot
All down in the County Kildare
For there's nothing better
Than a stir fried Red Setter
I'm a man who eats meat every day.

Come fill up your stomachs
With brisket and brains
With liver and sausage and steak
Rump, bacon and ham
Roast cutlets of lamb
I'm a man who eats meat every day.

Come get your gnashers
Round tasty fried rashers
Washed down with an auld cup of tay.
Be easy and free
When you breakfast with me
I'm a man who eats meat every day.

I like it. A bit of sausage with the eggs, beans and fried bread. Gads - getting hungry.

As a carnivore who is about to marry a vegetarian, this song make me very hungry. Anybody goat a cheeseburger they can spare?

I don't think I'll harvest this song for the Digital Tradition, but I'll recommend it to the Mudcat Songbook. Great song.

Joe, the song for you is Chicken Cordon Blues. I didn't check whether it is in the DT. When did you become a DT harvester? And never fear, there are lots of great meals that don't include meat. You are not a carnivore, but an omnivore, you can eat veggie too. You'll be full of beans.

Hi, Philippa - I've been harvesting in conjunction with my Mudcat duties for a couple years, and Jim Dixon for a little less than that. He and I take care of most of the Digital Tradition harvesting at Mudcat, and Susan of DT handles other sources and shepherds us. Dick Greenhaus puts it all together.
