The Pogues - I'm A Man You Don't Meet Every Day Lyrics

The Pogues Lyrics

"I'm A Man You Don't Meet Every Day"

Oh, my name is Jock Stewart, I'm a canny gaun man
And a roving young fellow I've been
So be easy and free when you're drinkin' with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

I have acres of land, I have men at command
I have always a shilling to spare
So be easy and free when you're drinkin' with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

So come fill up your glasses of brandy and wine
Whatever it costs, I will pay
So be easy and free when you're drinkin' with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

Well, I took out my dog and him I did shoot
All down in the county Kildare
So be easy and free when you're drinkin' with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

So come fill up your glasses of brandy and wine
Whatever it costs, I will pay
So be easy and free when you're drinkin' with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

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