Lyrics
Ye Jacobites by name give an ear, give an ear
Ye Jacobites by name give an ear
Ye Jacobites by name your faults I will proclaim
Your doctrines I maun blame, you shall hear.
Your doctrines I maun blame, you shall hear.
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.
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 hunt a parent's life with bloody war, bloody war
Or hunt a parent's life with bloody war, bloody war
Then let your schemes alone in the state, in the state
Then let your schemes alone in the state
Then leave your schemes alone, adore the rising sun
And leave a man alone to his fate...
And leave a man alone to his fate.
