Fareweel ye dungeons dark and strong
Fareweel, fareweel to thee
MacPherson's song will not be long
Upon the gallows tree
Sae rantonly, sae wantonly
Sae dauntingly played he
He played a tune and he danced a-roon
Below the gallows tree
It's little did me mither know
When first she cradled me
That I would become a rovin' boy
And die on the gallows tree
Sae rantonly, sae wantonly
Sae dauntingly played he
He played a tune and he danced a-roon
Below the gallows tree
Untie these bands from off my hands
An' gae to me my bow
I've naught to leave my brave Scotland
But a tune before I go
Sae rantonly, sae wantonly
Sae dauntingly played he
He played a tune and he danced a-roon
Below the gallows tree
There's some come here to see me hang
And some to buy my fiddle
But before that I do part with her
I'll break her through the middle
Sae rantonly, sae wantonly
Sae dauntingly played he
He played a tune and he danced a-roon
Below the gallows tree
He's ta'en his fiddle into both his hands
And breaked her on his knee
Said when I am gane no ither hands
Shall ever play on thee
Sae rantonly, sae wantonly
Sae dauntingly played he
He played a tune and he danced a-roon
Below the gallows tree
