MacPherson’s Rant

[Verse 1]
G D
Fare ye weel ye dark and lonely hills,
G C D
Far away beneath the sky.
G D
Macpherson's time will no be long
C G D
on yonder gallows tree.

[Chorus]
G D
Sae rantinly, sae wantonly,
G C
Sae dantinly gaed he.
G D
He played a tune, an' he danced it aroon
C G D
in a blow the gallows tree

[Verse 2]
G D
It was by a woman's treacherous haun,
G C D
That I was condemned tae dee.
G D
Upon a ledge on a window she stood,
C G D
And a blanket she threw ower me.

[Chorus]
G D
Sae rantinly, sae wantonly,
G C
Sae dantinly gaed he.
G D
He played a tune, an' he danced it aroon
C G D
in a blow the gallows tree

[Verse 3]
G D
For there's some come here tae see me die,
G C D
An' some tae buy my fiddle
G D
But before that I do part wi' her,
C G D
I'll break her through the middle

[Chorus]
G D
Sae rantinly, sae wantonly,
G C
Sae dantinly gaed he.
