Traditional, arranged by the Tannahill Weavers
For some unknown reason Scotland has
produced many great drinking songs. This is one of the more gentle,
expressing a beautiful sentiment very dear to our own hearts. This
version was taught to us in London by an old friend called Duncan
Disorderly who, at one point in the proceedings, actually dropped pennies down a drain and looked up at Big
Ben for his weight. |
LYRICS:
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
