Bardic Ye Jacobites By Name
Ye Jocobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear
Ye Jocobites by name, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name, your faults 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 sword or a long
A weak arm or strong for to draw, for to draw
A weak arm or strong for to draw
What makes heroic strife famed afar, famed afar ?
What makes heroic strife famed afar ?
What makes heroic strife, to wet the assassin’s knife,
Or hunt a parent‘s life with bloody war, bloody war
Or hunt a parent‘s life with bloody war ?
Then leave your schemes alone in the state, in the state
Then leavey our 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
