      G              D           G         C
Oh my name is Jock Stewart I'm a canny gun man
      G            D           G     D
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 ....

So come fill up your glasses of brandy and wine
Whatever it costs I will pay

So be easy ...

Well I took out my dog and him I did shoot
All down in the county Kildare

So be easy ...

      ___________________________________________________

       I took the lyrics from the back of the album
       but the deep meaning of the song (if it has one)
       is still quite obscure to me. By the way ... what
       does 'canny gun' mean?

	"I have often had to depend upon / The kindness of strangers" That's a reference to Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire, in her last lines in the play, Blanche DuBois says how she "always depended on the kindness of strangers." "But I've never been asked / And I never replied / If I supported the Glasgow Rangers" the Rangers are the Protestant football (soccer) team in Glasgow, Scotland. Their rivals are the Glasgow Celtic Football Club which was the Catholic football club. The fans tended to divide along sectarian lines and if someone asked you if you supported the Rangers or Celtic, then you were being asked if you were Protestant or Catholic.

	This song is about Christy Brown, the man who was portrayed in the movie "My Left Foot". Awesome song. The Pogues RULE!!!

	FWIW, noise technicians Steel Pole Bath Tub did a very reverent cover of this song....
