| Lyrics: | 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 maun blame, ye shall hear, ye
shall hear
Your doctrines I maun blame, ye 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
The short sword and the long
The weak arm and the strong, for to draw, for to
draw
The weak arm and the strong, 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
and claim a Parent's life, wi' bloody war, wi' bloody war
and claim a
paren'ts life, wi' bloody war
Then let your schemes alone, in the state, in the
state
Then let your schemes alone, in the state
Then 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
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 maun blame, ye
shall hear, ye shall hear
Your doctrines I maun blame, ye shall hear |
