Farewell ye dungeons dark and drear

Farewell farewell to ye

Macpherson's live will no be long

Round yonder gallows tree

Say rantingly and say wantonly

Say dauntingly gaed he

He played a tune and danced it round

Below yon gallows tree

Take off these bands from on my hands

And give to me my sword

And there's no a man in all scotland

But I'll brave him at his word

Say rantingly and say wantonly

Say dauntingly gaed he

He played a tune and danced it round

Below yon gallows tree

Now there's some come here for to see me hung

And some to buy my fiddle

But before that I will part with her

I'll break her through the middle

He took his fiddle in both his hands

And he broke it over a stone

Saying there's no other hand shall play on thee

When I am dead and gone

Say rantingly and say wantonly

Say dauntingly gaed he

He played a tune and danced it round

Below yon gallows tree

The reprieve was coming o the brig of banf

To set macpherson free

But they put the clock a quarter before

And they hanged him from a tree

Say rantingly and say wantonly

Say dauntingly gaed he

He played a tune and danced it round

Below yon gallows tree
