I've spent my life in rioting, Debauch'd my health and strength, I squander'd fast, as pillage came, And fell to shame at length. & ch Farewell, yon dungeons dark and strong, The wretch's destinie! M'Pherson's time will not be long On yonder gallows-tree. & ch O what is breath but parting breath? On many a bloody plain I've dar'd his face, and in this place I'll scorn him yet again. & ch But vengeance I never did wreak, When pow'r was in my hand, And you, dear friends, no vengeance seek, It is my last command. & ch Forgive the man whose rage betray'd MacPherson's worthless life; When I am gone, be it not said, My legacy was strife. & ch He took his fiddle in both his hands And he broke it all a stone, Saying there's nae a han' shall ply on thee When I am dead and gone. & ch Now farewell light, thou sunshine bright, And all beneath the sky! May coward shame disdain his name, The wretch that dares not die! & ch O reprieve was coming o the Brig o' Dans for tae set MacPherson free, For they set the clock a quarter before And they hanged him from a tree. & ch & ch @outlaw @death @music recorded by Jeannie Robertson on Heather and Glen filename[ MACPHER2 AS ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Men Of Worth, Mercedes Benz, Merchants Sone, Mermaid Rule Britannia, Metrorail Song, Mexico Anthem Text, Mexico Native Anthem Text, Miami Dolphins Fight Song, Michael Blanns Drinking Song, Michael Row The Boat Ashore, Mickey Mouse, Midnight Special, Mighty Like A Rose, Mighty Mississippi, Migrant Song, Mike Fink, Mill O Tiftys Annie, Mill Worker, Miller And The Lass, Miller Of Dee Jolly Miller, Miller Tae My Trade, Millers Will, Milwaukee Blues, Miner Lad, Miners Childs Dream, Miners Lifeguard, Mingulay Boat Song, Minstrel Boy, Miss Bailey, Miss Smith, Miss Suzy Had A Steamboat, Mister Fox, Mistletoe Bough, Moammar Said To His Men, Mobile, Modiewark, Molly And Tenbrooks, Molly Bawn Polly Vaughn, Molly Brannigan, Molly Malone, Monongahela Sal, Month Of May, Months, Monymustk Lads, Moon Dancing, Moonshiner, More Verses To Humoresque, More Wood, Mormond Braes, Morning Has Broken, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
