Pogues, The - I'm A Man You Don't Meet Every Day Lyrics
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 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
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
So be easy and free when you're drinking with me
I'm a man you don't meet every day

Pogues, The I'm A Man You Don't Meet Every Day Comments
this song always reminds me of when I was a rich dope dealer and thought I could buy my way into heaven... haha times have changed
Yes, indeed ! Ha, ha ! Maybe then you can explain me why the lyrics are about a bloke who shoots his dog ?? I do not find that very glorious !
I am also wondering why they use a female voice to talk about a man ? But what bothers me most is the shooting of the dog in the lyrics !!!
It's not Jock Stewart, but Chuck Stewart - she's singing about Charles Stewart Parnell.
"a man you don't meet every day is a term used to describe a wealthy man .I should know I'm from Kildare.
what a stunningly beautiful song
one word ...."incredible".
whats this women with the smokey voice?! i bet shes dead now.. damn hippies
Can we stop having Christmas in early November?
I'm a pogue my son's a pogue and his son shall be a pogue
It's "a canny YOUNG man". What the fuck does "gaun" mean?
~Lyrics~
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 your drinking with me
I’m a man you don’t meet everyday
did he really have to shoot the dag ?
It's a joke. In the original it tells the tale of a hare shoot. It's, "With his dog, he did shoot"
Beautiful
Cait what a voice, interesting career angelic Irish voice
This is a band you don't meet every day. Amazing bunch of musicians and songwriters.
thank God
Love her accent ”drink”! Love the pogues as well!
Have you seen the film

Zach I love you darlin'.
Every bit of me to you.
Oh such a talent. Follow her on twitter. Still entertaining all.
You Americans as much as you try will never understand what it’s like to buy a drink, all miserable fuckers 🤙🏻
Thanks for the music Shane.
Remember Shane MacGowan as an Artist... alcohol makes you sick, not a bad person!
No dogs were harmed in this song. It can be enjoyed.
its Jeff not Jock, listen to the words and get them right , pretty sure its canny young man, not guan

I love when she says "meet" with the typical sweet irish "t"
Very typicall Irish singing pronounce. I love this song, I am working the music and the letter in my Music and Teather classes. A big and crucial hugh to the band and a great love for the proud Irish eire people. Greetings from Oporto, Portugal.
God rest her soul....
Thanks for the blanket, give him a $1 and see you in heaven
The Pogues were never quite as cool or as cutting edge when she left. A real heroine.
I’m still pretty glad I don’t meet very day some arsehole Scot who’d shoot his dog over nothing.
I’m Russian but I like his songs!))
Said the priest to the vicar. Pull the other one was the reply.
This song is only good with the music and this woman singing. When it's stuck in my head or i'm singing it aloud when no one's around it sounds like shit.
like the power
"Gator".
My angel.
My man. ♥
love the woman's voice who sings this
Oh I took up my gun and him I did shoot, down in County Kildare .... What a voice ......
"took out my dog and him I did shoot"

Why did he shoot his dog? Everything was going so well.
He went shooting with his dog he didn't shoot the dog
He did shoot his dog, not as many vets back then?, your dog got sick? or old?? It up to you to stop it suffer!! So be easy and free when your drinkin with me.
It's hard to listen to your funeral song whilst still breathing.
who is singing?
Cait O'riordian
Sharing and great tune.....
Always wondered who sung this ..not Shane
You guessed right.
😗 🎵🎶🎵🎶☘️😗🎶🎼🎶🍻🤪😎

Wee fuck england ! U
i took out my dirk ...not dog.
whos the female lead???
Cait oriordain married to elvis costelloe at the time.
Part at 1.22 gives me chills.
When i die i want this will be played at my funeral
Sublime. Like beer.
belter song
Happy Days when irish meant something!!
Peace of mind ♥️
I would like to know why they scrubbed a couple of good verses, and changed the words so the poor dog got killed off...
Also...Cait's voice is lush...but why did she sing a song so male specific? Maybe they thought it was amusing...?
this song was traditionally sung by a boy as it is the story of a boy outliving his dog
Nice song
Is this Kirsty MacColl singing?
It's Cáit O Ríordaín.
Damn near makes me cry everytime
94 people didn’t like this. 94 c*nts, then.
Beautiful vocal by Cait, a truly great singer.
The "cool" landlord. Gets you drunk, plays the pipes, maybe speaks Gaelic cuz he's a Scot. Just watch out, don't get any funny ideas you peasants: he's got men at command and shot his dog.
Campbell Young '
Ok Cait O'Riordain sang this and sang it lovely - but it reminds me every time I hear it about Kirsty McColl Rest in beautiful peace Kirsty McColl You were beautiful and had the voice of an angel And may the boating pricks that ran you over hang their heads in shame
fkérs cut her in half
Also she died a hero, saving her son
The voice and the expression of Cait O'Riordan in combination with these lyrics ist just an amazing opposition!
Good thing this is Cait singing. If it was Shane I'd of married him
Lookes wierd when you ask me.But is ok for that hit
Banjo and pipes, brill
