Ye Jacobites By Name Lyrics

Seven Nations 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 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
