Farewell ye dungeons dark and strong, Farewell, farewell tae thee, 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
