Corries - Macpherson's Rant Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Farewell ye dungeons dark and strang,
  • The wretches destiny,
  • 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 bloody 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)
