Farewell ye dungeons, dark & strong
This wretches destiny
MacPherson´s day will nae be long
Allow the gallows tree

Say rauntingly, say wantonly
And undauntedly ga´ed he
And he played a spring and danced it ´round
Allow the gallows tree

Well I´ve lived me a life of stearf and strife
On mony a bloody battle plain
But it breaks my heart I must depart
And nae avenged I be

So take these bands frae aff me hands
And bring to me my sword
For there nae be a man in all the land
I´ll brave him at one word

So farewell light and me sun shine bright
And all benath the Highland skies
MacPherson´s name will nae distaine
The wretch who will nae die
