PARDON now the bold outlaw,

Rob Roy Macgregor, O!

Grant him mercy gentles s',

Rob Roy Macgregor, O!

Let your hands and hearts agree,

Let the Highland laddie free,

Mak us ſing wi muckle glee,

Ne'er from Briton's foe they f

A'that's paſt forget—forgie

Lang your favours hae been mine,

Favours I will ne'er reſign-

Welcome then for auld lang ſyne,

Rob Roy, &c.

Pardon now, &c.
