lirik lagu corries - macpherson's rant
farewell ye dungeons dark and strong,
farewell, farewell tae thee,
macphersons time will no be lang,
on yonder gallow’s tree
it was by a woman’s treachorous hands,
that i was condemned to dee,
she stood uben a windae ledge,
and a blanket threw o’er me
(chorus)
sae rantingly, sae wantonly,
ans sae dauntingly gaed he,
he played a tune and he danced around
below the gallow’s tree
(chorus)
oh what is death, but parting breath
on mony a bl–dy plain
i’ve daur’d his face, and in his place
i scorn him yet again
(chorus)
i have lived a life, o’ straught and strife
i die by treachery
it burns my heart, that i must depart
an no avenged be
(chorus)
so tak these bands fae aff my hands
gae to me my sword
there’s nae a man in a’ scotland
but i’ll brave him at a word
(chorus)
now farewell light thou sunshine bright
and all beneath the sky
may coward shame distain his name
the wretch that dare not die
(chorus)
