• MacPherson's Farewell

Farewell ye dungeons dark and strong
The wretch's destiny
MacPherson's time will nae be lang
On yonder gallows tree

Sae rantinlie an sae wantonlie
Sae dauntinlie gaed he
He played a tune an danced it roun
Below the gallows tree

Oh what is death but parting breath
On mony a bludy plain
I've daur'd his face and in his place
I scorn him yet again

Sae rantinlie an sae wantonlie
Sae dauntinlie gaed he
He played a tune an danced it roun
Below the gallows tree

Tak aff this bands from aff this hands
And bring to me my sword
There's nae a man in a' Scotland
But I'll brave him at a word

I've lived a life o sturt and strife
An I die by treacherie
It burns my heart I must depart
An not avenged be

Sae rantinlie an sae wantonlie
Sae dauntinlie gaed he
He played a tune an danced it roun
Below the gallows tree

Now farewell light thou sunshine bright
And all beneath the sky
May coward shame distain his name
The wretch that dare not die

Sae rantinlie an sae wantonlie
Sae dauntinlie gaed he
He played a tune an danced it roun
Below the gallows tree
