Oh, my name is Jock Stewart, I'm a canny gun man
And a roving young fellow I've been
So be easy and free when you're drinking 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 drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day
So come fill up you glasses of brandy and wine
Whatever it costs, I will pay
So be easy and free when you're drinking 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 drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day
So come fill up you glasses of brandy and wine
Whatever it costs, I will pay
So be easy and free when you're drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day
So be easy and free when you're drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day
And a roving young fellow I've been
So be easy and free when you're drinking 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 drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day
So come fill up you glasses of brandy and wine
Whatever it costs, I will pay
So be easy and free when you're drinking 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 drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day
So come fill up you glasses of brandy and wine
Whatever it costs, I will pay
So be easy and free when you're drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day
So be easy and free when you're drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

Oh -- and here's another verse that's typically in the song, as well as the non-Pogues version of the dog verse:
I'm a roving young blade, I'm a piper by trade, And there's many the tunes I can play; So be easy and free when you're drinking with me, I'm a man you don't meet every day.
I go out with my dog And my gun for to shoot, All along by the banks of the Tay; Be easy and free When you're drinking with me, I'm a man you don't meet every day.
