Ye Jacobites
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear,
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear,
Ye Jacobites by name,
Your fautes I will proclaim,
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear,
you shall hear,
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear.
What is Right, and What is Wrong, by the law, by the law?
What is Right and what is Wrong by the law?
What is Right, and what is Wrong?
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.
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 haunt a Parent's life, wi' bloody war?
bluidy war,
Or haunt a Parent's life, wi' bloody war?
Then let your schemes alone, in the state, in the state,
I let your schemes alone in the state.
I let your schemes alone,
Adore the rising sun,
And leave a man alone, to his fate,
to his fate,
And 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 fautes I will proclaim,
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear,
you shall hear,
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear.
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear,
Ye Jacobites by name,
Your fautes I will proclaim,
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear,
you shall hear,
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear.
What is Right, and What is Wrong, by the law, by the law?
What is Right and what is Wrong by the law?
What is Right, and what is Wrong?
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.
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 haunt a Parent's life, wi' bloody war?
bluidy war,
Or haunt a Parent's life, wi' bloody war?
Then let your schemes alone, in the state, in the state,
I let your schemes alone in the state.
I let your schemes alone,
Adore the rising sun,
And leave a man alone, to his fate,
to his fate,
And 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 fautes I will proclaim,
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear,
you shall hear,
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear.
