mcpherson’s lament lyrics
[verse 1]
farewell ye dungeons dark and strong
farewell, farewell to ye
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
[verse 2]
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
[verse 3]
he took his fiddlе in both of his hands
and he broke it o’er a stonе
saying “there’s nae other hand shall play on thee
when i am dead and gone”
[chorus]
sae rantingly, sae wantingly and sae dauntingly gaed he
he played a tune and he danced around below the gallows tree
[verse 4]
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
[chorus]
sae rantingly, sae wantingly and sae dauntingly gaed he
he played a tune and he danced around below the gallows tree
