| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Macphersons Farewell | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 159 | | | | Lyrics: | MacPherson's Farewell
Fareweel, ye dungeons dark and strong,
Fareweel, Fareweel tae
thee.
MacPherson's time will nae be lang
On yonder gallows tree.
CHO: Sae
rantin'ly, sae wantonly
Sae dauntin'ly gaed he
He played a tune and danced it
roon'
Below the gallows tree.
'Twas by a woman's treacherous hand
That I
was condemned to dee.
Below a ledge at a window she stood
And a blanket she threw o'er
me.
The Laird o' Grant, that hieland sant
That first laid hands on me,
He
played the cause on Peter Broon
Tae let MacPherson free.
Untie these bands frae off
my hands
And gie to me my sword.
There's no' a man in all Scotland
But I'll brave him
at a word.
There's some come here tae see me hanged
And some to buy my
fiddle.
But before I do part wi' her
I'll brak her thro' the middle.
He took
the fiddle in both of his hands
And he broke it o'er a stone.
Says,"There's nae ither hand
shall play on thee
When I am dead and gone."
O little did my mother think
When
first she cradled me,
That I would turn a rovin' boy
And die on the gallows
tree.
The reprieve was comin' o'er the brig o' Banf
Tae let MacPherson
free,
But they pit the clock a quarter before
And hanged him tae the
tree.
