Ye Jacobites By Name (reinhören)
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 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, by short sword or by long
A weak arm or a strong for to draw, for to draw
A weak arm or a strong for to draw.
What makes
heroic strife famed afar, famed afar?
What makes heroic strife famed afar?
What makes heroic strife, tae whet the assassin's knife
Or hunt a parent's life with bloody war, bloody war,
Or hunt a parent's life with bloody war.
And let yer
schemes alone in the state, in the state
And let yer schemes alone in the state
And let yer 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
