mcpherson's lament - tommy makem lyrics
farewell ye dungeons dark and strong
farewell, farewell to thee
mcpherson’s life will no be long
on yonder gallows tree
chorus:
sae rantingly, sae wantingly and sae dauntingly gaed he
he played a tune and he danced around below the gallows
tree
take off these bands from off my hands
and give to me a sword
for there’s not a man in all scotland
but i’d brave him at his word
there’s some come here for to see me hung
and some to buy my fiddle
but before that i do part with her
i’ll break her through the middle
he took his fiddle in both of his hands
and he broke it o’er a stone
saying ‘there’s nae ither hand shall play on thee
when i am dead and gone’
the reprieve was coming o’er the brigg of banff
for to set mcpherson free
but they put the clock a quarter before
and they hanged him from a tree
