The Corries - Macpherson's Rant lyrics

Artist: The Corries

album: The Compact Collection


Farewell, ye dungeons dark and strong
The wretches destiny
MacPhersons time will no be lang
On yonder gallow's tree
It was by a woman's treacherous hands
That I was condemned to dee
She stood uben a windae ledge
And a blanket threw o'er me
Sae rantingly, sae wantonly
And sae dauntingly gaed he
He played a tune, and he danced around
Below the gallow's tree
Oh what is death, but parting breath
On mony's the bloody plain
I've daur'd his face, and in his place
I scorn him yet again
Sae rantingly, sae wantonly
And sae dauntingly gaed he
He played a tune, and he danced around
Below the gallow's tree
So tak off these bands fae 'round my hands
Gae to me my sword
For there's no a man in a' Scotland
But I'll brave him at a word
Sae rantingly, sae wantonly
And sae dauntingly gaed he
He played a tune, and he danced around
Below the gallow's tree
So farewell night, a parting night
And all beneath the sky
May coward shame distain his name
The wretch that dare not die
Sae rantingly, sae wantonly
And sae dauntingly gaed he
He played a tune, and he danced around
Below the gallow's tree
Sae rantingly, sae wantonly
And sae dauntingly gaed he
He played a tune, and he danced around
Below the gallow's tree
