sam shackleton - macpherson's rant lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
farewell ye dark and lonely hills
far awa beneath the sky
macpherson’s time will naw be lang
on yonder gallows tree

[chorus]
sae wantonly, sae dauntinly
sae rantinly gaed he
o’ he played a tune and he danced it aroond
below the gallows tree

[verse 2]
it was by a woman’s treacherous hauns
that i was condemned tae dee
and upon a ledge on a window she stood
and a blanket she threw ower me

[chorus]
sae wantonly, sae dauntinly
sae rantinly gaed he
o’ he playеd a tune and he danced it aroond
bеlow the gallows tree

[verse 3]
well some hae come tae see me dee
and some tae buy my fiddle
but before that i dae part wi her
i’ll brak her through the middle
[chorus]
sae wantonly, sae dauntinly
sae rantinly gaed he
o’ he played a tune and he danced it aroond
below the gallows tree

[verse 4]
well he took his fiddle in tae bathe of his hands
and he brak it ower a stane
singing, “nae ither will play on thee
when i am dead and gane”

[chorus]
sae wantonly, sae dauntinly
sae rantinly gaed he
o’ he played a tune and he danced it aroond
below the gallows tree

[verse 5]
the reprieve it came fae the brig o’ banff
for tae set macpherson free
but they brang the clock tae a quarter to one
and they hanged him fae a tree

[chorus]
sae wantonly, sae dauntinly
sae rantinly gaed he
o’ he played a tune and he danced it aroond
below the gallows tree
