Macpherson's life will ne 'er be long

On yonder gallows tree

say dauntingly did he
D

He played a tune as he danced around
D

below Yungallo Street

And some to buy my fiddle
D

But before that I do part with her
D
G
A
I'll break her through the middle
D

And broke it o 'er a stone

When I am dead and gone

say dauntingly gay

below young Gallow's tree

On many a bloody plain?

I've scorned him yet again

Untie these bands from of my hands
D

And bring to me my sword
D

And there's not a man in all Scotland
D

But I pray him not a word
D

Say rantingly, say wantonly

Say dauntingly big he
D

He played a tune as he danced around

Below your gallows tree

To set Macpherson free.

But they put the clock a quarter before,
D
G
A
D
A
D
And hanged him from the tree.
