Tekst piosenki
Farewell, ye dungeons dark and strong
Farewell, farewell to thee.
Macpherson’s rant will ne’er be lang
On yonder gallows tree.
Sae rantingly, sae wontonly
Sae dauntingly gaed he
He played a tune an' he danced aroon
Beneath the gallows tree.
Well the laird o' Grant, that highlan' sa’nt
That first laid hands on me
He played the cause on Peter Broon
To let Macpherson dee.
Sae rantingly, sae wontonly
Sae dauntingly gaed he
He played a tune an' he danced aroon
Beneath the gallows tree.
By a woman’s treacherous hand
That I was condemned to dee
High on a ledge at a window she stood
And a blanket she threw o’er me.
Sae rantingly, sae wontonly
Sae dauntingly gaed he
He played a tune an' he danced aroon
Beneath the gallows tree.
There’s some come here to see me hanged
And some to buy my fiddle
But before that I do part wi' her
I’ll brak her thro' the middle.
Sae rantingly, sae wontonly
Sae dauntingly gaed he
He played a tune an' he danced aroon
Beneath the gallows tree.
Untie these bands from off my hands
And gie to me my sword
There’s nae a man in a' Scotland
But I’ll brave him at a word.
He took the fiddle into both his hands
And he broke it o’er a stone
Says there’s nae other hand shall play on thee
When I am dead and gone.
O, little did my mother think
When she first cradled me
That I would turn a rovin' boy
And die on the gallows tree.
The reprive was comin' o’er the brig o' Banff
To let Macpherson free
But they pit the clock a quarter afore
And hanged him to a tree.

Żegnaj, Żegnaj.
Macpherson 's rant will ne' er be lang
Na drzewie szubienicy.
Sae rantingly, sae wontonly
Sae dauntingly gaed he
Grał melodię i tańczył aroon.
Pod szubienicą.
Laird o 'Grant, that highlan' sa ' NT
"That first laid hands on me"
Grał w serialu Peter Broon.
Pozwolić Macphersonowi dee.
Sae rantingly, sae wontonly
Sae dauntingly gaed he
Grał melodię i tańczył aroon.
Pod szubienicą.
By a woman ' s treacherous hand
Że zostałem skazany na dee.
High on a gzyms at a window she stood
I koc, który mi rzuciła.
Sae rantingly, sae wontonly
Sae dauntingly gaed he
Grał melodię i tańczył aroon.
Pod szubienicą.
Niektórzy chcą mnie powiesić.
And some to buy my fiddle
Ale przedtem się z nią rozstanę.
Hamuję ją przez środek.
Sae rantingly, sae wontonly
Sae dauntingly gaed he
Grał melodię i tańczył aroon.
Pod szubienicą.

And gie to me my sword
There 's noe a man in a' Scotland
Ale odważę się na słowo.
Wziął skrzypce w obie ręce.
I złamał ją o ' er kamień
Says there ' s no other hand shall play on thee
Kiedy umrę i odejdę.
O, moja matka nie pomyślała
Kiedy po raz pierwszy przytuliła mnie
That I would turn a rovin ' boy
I umrzeć na szubienicy.
The reprive was comin ' o 'er the brig O' Banff
Uwolnić MacPhersona

I powiesił go na drzewie.
