Ye Jacobites By Name

Chorus:
Ye Jacobites by name lend an ear, lend an ear,
Ye Jacobites by name lend an ear,
Ye Jacabites by name
Yer faults I will proclaim,
Yer doctrines I must blame,
You shall hear, you shall hear
Yer 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 wrong by the law
What is right and what is wrong, by short sword or by long,
A weak arm or a strong for to draw, for to draw.

What makes heroic strife famed afar, famed afar,
What makes heroic strife famed afar,
What makes heroics strife, tae whet the assassin's knife,
Or haunt a parent's life with bloody war,
Or haunt a parent's life with bloody war.

And let yer schemes alone in the state, in the state,
And let yer schemes alone in the state,
And let yer schemes alone, adore the rising Sun,
And leave the man undone to his fate, to his fate,
And leave a man undone to his fate.
