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
