Ye Jacobites By Name

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 short arm or a long,
A weak arm and a strong, for to draw, for to draw!
A weak arm and a strong, for to draw!

Chorus...

What makes heroic strife, famed afare, famed afare?
What makes heroic strife famed afare?
What makes heroic strife?
To whet the assassin's knife,
Or hunt a Parent's life, with bloody war, with bloody war!
Or hunt a Parent's life, with bloody war!

Chorus...

Then leave your schemes alone, in the State, in the State!
Then leave your schemes alone, in the State!
Then leave 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!

Chorus...

Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear!
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear...
