M’Pherson’s Farewell

Farewell, ye dungeons dark and strong, The wretch's destiny. MacPherson's time will not be long on yonder gallows Tree. O, what is death by parting breath on Many a bloody plain? I've dared his face and in this place I Scorn him yet again. Sae rantinly, sae wantonly, sae wantonly did he. He played a tune and danced itroon below the Gallows tree. 'Twas by a woman's traitor hand while I was condemned to dee. She stood abeen a window ledge and blanked through All on me. Untie these bands from off my Hands and bring me to my sword. There's not a man in all Scotland I'll dread Him at a word. Sae rantinly, sae wantonly, sae wantonly did he. He played a tune and danced itroon below the Gallows tree. I've lived a life of strife and strife. I die by treachery. It burns my heart, I must depart and not Avenged be. No farewell lie, no sunshine bright, Hello beneath the sky. My coward shame, disdain his name, the wretch that Dares not die. Sae rantinly, sae wantonly, Sae wantonly did he. He played a tune and danced itroon below the Gallows tree. And sae rantinly, Sae wantonly, sae wantonly did he. He played a tune and danced itroon below the Gallows tree. He played a tune, He danced itroon below the gallows tree.
