Lyrics:
Farewell ye dungeons, dark & strongThis wretches destinyMacPherson's day will nae be longAllow the gallows treeSay rauntingly, say wantonlyAnd undauntedly ga'ed heAnd he played a spring and danced it 'roundAllow the gallows treeWell I've lived me a life of stearf and strifeOn mony a bloody battle plainBut it breaks my heart I must departAnd nae avenged I beSo take these bands frae aff me handsAnd bring to me my swordFor there nae be a man in all the landI'll brave him at one wordSo farewell light and me sun shine brightAnd all benath the Highland skiesMacPherson's name will nae distaineThe wretch who will nae die
