Ye Jacobites

Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear,
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear,
Ye Jacobites by name,
Your faults I will proclaim,
Your doctrines I must blame , you shall hear, you shall hear
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear.
What's right, and what is wrong, by the law, by the law?
What's right and what is wrong by the law?
What's right, and what is wrong?
A short sword, and a long,
A weak arm and a strong, for to draw, for to draw
A weak arm and a strong, for to draw.
What makes heroic strife, famed afar, famed afar?
What makes heroic strife famed afar?
What makes heroic strife?
To whet the assassin's knife,
Or haunt a parent's life, wi' bloody war, bloody war?
Or haunt a parent's life, wi' bloody war.
Then let your schemes alone, in the state, in the state,
Aye let your schemes alone in the state.
Ah leave your schemes alone,
Adore the rising sun,
And leave a man alone, to his fate, to his fate,
Aye leave a man alone, to his fate.
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear,
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear,
Ye Jacobites by name,
Your faults I will proclaim,
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear, you shall hear,
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear.
