Текст песни: MacPherson's Farewell + перевод

Fareweel ye dungeons dark and strong

Fareweel, fareweel to thee

MacPherson’s song will not be long

Upon the gallows tree.

Sae rantonly, sae wantonly,

Sae dauntingly played he.

He played a tune and he danced a-roon,

Below the gallows tree.

It’s little did me mither know

When first she cradled me,

That I would become a rovin' boy

And die on the gallows tree

Sae rantonly, sae wantonly,

Sae dauntingly played he.

He played a tune and he danced a-roon,

Below the gallows tree.

Untie these bands from off my hands,

An' gae to me my bow,

I’ve naught to leave my brave Scotland,

But a tune before I go.

Sae rantonly, sae wantonly,

Sae dauntingly played he.

He played a tune and he danced a-roon,

Below the gallows tree.

There’s some come here to see me hang,

And some to buy my fiddle,

But before that I do part with her,

I’ll break her through the middle.

Sae rantonly, sae wantonly,

Sae dauntingly played he.

He played a tune and he danced a-roon,

Below the gallows tree.

He’s ta’en his fiddle into both his hands

And breaked her on his knee,

Said when I am gane no ither hands

Shall ever play on thee.

Sae rantonly, sae wantonly,

Sae dauntingly played he.

He played a tune and he danced a-roon,

Below the gallows tree.
