Farewell ye dungeons, dark & strong, This wretch's destiny
MacPherson's day will nae be long, Allow the gallows tree
Say rauntingly, say wantonly, And undauntedly ga'ed he
And he played a spring and danced it 'round, Allow the gallows tree
Well I've lived me a life of serf and strife, On mony a bloody battle plain
But it breaks my heart I must depart, And nae avenged I be
Say rauntingly, say wantonly, And undauntedly ga'ed he
And he played a spring and danced it 'round, Allow the gallows tree
So take these bands frae aff me hands, And bring to me my sword
For there nae be a man in all the land, I'll brave him at one word
Say rauntingly, say wantonly, And undauntedly ga'ed he
And he played a spring and danced it 'round, Allow the gallows tree
So... fare...well light and me sun shine bright, And all benath the Highland skies
MacPherson's name will nae distaine..., The wretch that will nae die
Say rauntingly, say wantonly, And undauntedly ga'ed he
And he played a spring and danced it 'round, Allow the gallows tree
Say rauntingly, say wantonly, And undauntedly ga'ed he
And he played a spring and danced it 'round, Allow the gallows tree
