I'm a Man You Don't Meet Every Day Lyrics

Oh me name is Jock Stewart
I'm a canny gang man
And a rovin' young fellow I've been

Chorus:
So be easy and free
When you're drinkin' with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

I'm a piper by trade
I'm a ramblin' young blade
And 'tis many the tune I can play
So be.....

I've got acres of land
I have men at command
And I've always a shillin' to spare
So be.....

With my dog and my gun
I go out for to shoot
All along the green banks o' the Spey
So be.....

So come fill up your glasses
With brandy and wine
And whatever the cost, I will pay
So be easy and free
When you're drinkin' with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day
I'm a man you don't meet every day

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
