- A Man You Won't Meet 

 
- A Man You Won't Meet
 
 

Although originally an Irish ballad, this wonderful song (alternately known as "Jock Stewart") has become a popular Aberdeenshire drinking song, or so I've read. We've given it a contemporary bluegrass feel.

Track 1 of Buchan Bluegrass (2005)

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' wi' me.
I'm a man you won't meet every day.

I'm a piper by trade
And a fine, roving blade
And there's many a tune I can play
So be easy and free
When you're drinkin' wi' me.
I'm a man you won't meet every day.

I have acres of land
And men at command
And I've always a shilling to spare.
So be easy and free
When you're drinkin' wi' me.
I'm the man you won't meet every day.

So let us catch well the hours
And the minutes that fly
And we'll share them together this day
So be easy and free
When you're drinkin' wi' me.
I'm the man you won't meet every day
No, I'm the man you won't meet every day
