Lyrics:
Farewell ye dungeons dark and strang, The wretches destiny, MacPhersons time will no be lang, On yonder gallow's tree It was by a woman's treachorous hands, That I was condemned to dee, She stood uben a windae ledge, And a blanket threw o'er me (Chorus) Sae rantingly, sae wantonly, Ans sae dauntingly gaed he, He played a tune and he danced around Below the gallow's tree (Chorus) Oh what is death, but parting breath On mony a bloody plain I've daur'd his face, and in his place I scorn him yet again (Chorus) I have lived a life, o' straught and strife I die by treachery It burns my heart, that I must depart An no avenged be (Chorus) So tak these bands fae aff my hands Gae to me my sword There's nae a man in a' Scotland But I'll brave him at a word (Chorus) Now farewell light thou sunshine bright And all beneath the sky May coward shame distain his name The wretch that dare not die (Chorus)
