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 think maybe he say I'm a canny gaun' man. A shortened version of gaunt "thin and craggy".
I'm a roaring young blade
and a piper by trade
and there's many a tune I can play
So be easy...
Your last verse
I went out with my dog
and my gun for a shoot
all along the banks of the Spey
So be easy...
