Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name, your faults I must proclaim
Your doctrines I maun blaim, you will hear, you will hear
Your doctrines I maun blaim, you will hear.
1. What is right and what is wrong, by the law, by the law (x2)
What is right and what is wrong, a short sword or a long
A weak arm or a strong, for to draw, for to draw (x2)
2. What makes heroic strike, famed a far, famed a far (x2)
What makes heroic strike, to whet the assasins knife
A hunt a parent's life, with a bloody war, bloody war (x2)
3. So let your scheme alone, in the state, in the state (x2)
So let tour scheme alone, adore the rising sun
And leave a man undone, to his fate, to his fate (x2)
