[VERSE 1]
Fare[A]well ye dungeons dark and stra[E]ng,
The [A]wretches destin[D]y,
Mac[A]Phersons time will no be l[E]ang,
On [A]yonder g[D]allow's t[E7]ree
[VERSE 2]
It was b[A]y a woman's treachorous h[E]ands,
That [A]I was condemned to d[D]ee,
She st[A]ood uben a windae l[E]edge,
And a b[A]lanket threw[D] o'er [E7]me
[CHORUS]
Sae r[A]antingly, sae w[E]antonly,
Ans sae d[A]auntingly gaed [D]he,
He pl[A]ayed a tune and he danced ar[E]ound
Bel[A]ow the g[D]allow's t[E7]ree
[VERSE 3]
Oh w[A]hat is death, but parting br[E]eath
On m[A]ony a bloody pl[D]ain
I've d[A]aur'd his face, and in his p[E]lace
I s[A]corn him [D]yet aga[E7]in
[CHORUS]
Sae r[A]antingly, sae w[E]antonly,
Ans sae d[A]auntingly gaed [D]he,
He pl[A]ayed a tune and he danced ar[E]ound
Bel[A]ow the g[D]allow's t[E7]ree
[VERSE 4]
I have l[A]ived a life, o' straught and st[E]rife
I d[A]ie by treacher[D]y
It b[A]urns my heart, that I must dep[E]art
An [A]no ave[D]nged b[E7]e
[CHORUS]
Sae r[A]antingly, sae w[E]antonly,
Ans sae d[A]auntingly gaed [D]he,
He pl[A]ayed a tune and he danced ar[E]ound
Bel[A]ow the g[D]allow's t[E7]ree
[VERSE 5]
So t[A]ak these bands fae aff my h[E]ands
G[A]ae to me my s[D]word
There's [A]nae a man in a' Scotl[E]and
But I'll b[A]rave him [D]at a w[E7]ord
[CHORUS]
Sae r[A]antingly, sae w[E]antonly,
Ans sae d[A]auntingly gaed [D]he,
He pl[A]ayed a tune and he danced ar[E]ound
Bel[A]ow the g[D]allow's t[E7]ree
[VERSE 6]
Now f[A]arewell light thou sunshine [E]bright
And [A]all beneath the s[D]ky
May c[A]oward shame distain his n[E]ame
The wr[A]etch that d[D]are not [E7]die
[CHORUS]
