Say rantantly, say wantonly, say tauntingly gave he.
[F] He played a [C] tune and he danced in a [G] rune, A low the [C] gallows tree.
Farewell ye dungeons, dark and strang, Farewell, farewell said he.
[F] Macpherson's [C] time will no be lang, [Em] A low the [C] gallows tree.
Say rantantly, say wantonly, say tauntingly gave he.
He [F] played a tune and he danced in a rune, A low [G] the [C] gallows tree.
By a woman's treacherous hand that I was condemned to deem,
[F] A boon, a [C] ledge and a wound she stood, And [G] a blanket she threw [C] over me.
Say rantantly, say wantonly, say tauntingly gave he.
[F] He played a tune [C] and he danced in a rune, A [G] low the gallows tree.
Untie these bands free of my hands, And give to me my sword.
[F]
There's no [C] man in all Scotland, I'll [G] brave him at [C] his word.
Say rantantly, say wantonly, say tauntingly gave he.
[F] He played a tune [C] and he danced in a rune, A [G] low the [C] gallows tree.
Now there's some come here to see me hang, And some to buy my fiddle,
[F] But a four that [C] I did part with her, [G] I'll rack her through the [C] middle.
Say rantantly, say wantonly, say tauntingly gave he.
[F] He played a [C] tune and he danced in a rune, A low the gallows tree.
