MacPherson's Rant Songtext
von John Strachan

What′s the verse that I sang to you?
Some come here to see me hanged, and some to buy my fiddle
But before that I would part with her
I would break her through the middle
Sir Runtin Lee and so wantonly and so dauntlessly did he, for
He played a tune and he danced it roon below the galas tree
Release my hands from out my bonds and give to me my sword And there's nay a man in all Scotland but I′ll dare him at a word
For some come here to see me hanged and some to buy my fiddle
But before that I would part with her
I would break her through the middle
Sir Runtin Lee and so wantonly and so dauntlessly did he, for
He played a tune and he danced it roon below the galas tree
