Farewell ye dungeons dark and strong
Farewell, farewell tae thee
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
Farewell, farewell tae thee

It burns my heart, that I must depart
