ye jacobites by name lyrics
[verse 1]
ye jacobites by name, give an ear, give an ear
ye jacobites by name, give an ear
ye jacobites by name
your fautes i will proclaim
your doctrines i maun blame, you shall hear, you shall hear
your doctrines i maun blame, you shall hear

[verse 2]
what is right, and what is wrang, by the law, by the law?
what is right and what is wrang by the law?
what is right, and what is wrang?
a short sword, and a lang
a weak arm and a strang, for to draw, for to draw
a weak arm and a strang, for to draw

[verse 3]
what makes heroic strife, famed afar, famed afar?
what makes heroic strife famed afar?
what makes heroic strife?
to whet th’ assassin’s knife
or hunt a parent’s life, wi’ bluidy war, wi’ bluidy war
or hunt a parent’s life, wi’ bluidy war

[verse 4]
then let your schemes alone, in the state, in the state
then let your schemes alone in the state
so let your schemes alone
adore the rising sun
and leave a man undone, to his fate, to his fate
and leave a man undone, to his fate
