the weavers – below the gallows tree lyrics
farewell, ye dungeons dark and strong
farewell, farewell to thee
macpherson’s song will not be long
upon the gallows tree
“say ron-ten-lee, say won-ten-lee
say don-ten-lee,” played he
he played a tune and he danced aroun’
below the gallows tree
oh, little did my mother know
when first she cradled me
that i would become a rovin’ boy
and die on the gallows tree
“say ron-ten-lee, say won-ten-lee
say don-ten-lee,” played he
he played a tune and he danced aroun’
below the gallows tree
untie these bands from off my hands
and give to me my bow
i’ve naught to leave my brave scotland
but a tune before i go
“say ron-ten-lee, say won-ten-lee
say don-ten-lee,” played he
he played a tune and he danced aroun’
below the gallows tree
there’s some come here to see me hanged
and some to steal my fiddle
but before that i do part with her
i’ll break her through the middle
he took the fiddle into both his hands
he broke it o’er his knee
sayin’, “when i am gone no other hands
shall ever play on thee.”
“say ron-ten-lee, say won-ten-lee
say don-ten-lee,” played he
he played a tune and he danced aroun’
below the gallows tree
he played a tune and danced aroun’
and they hanged him to the tree
