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

G C..~ G~ C~ G~

And he played a spring and danced it 'round, Allow the gallows tree
