| Ye Jacobites By Name |
|
Ye Jacobites by name give an ear, give an ear Ye Jacobites by name give an ear Ye Jacobites by name your faults I will proclaim 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 and a long A weak arm and a strong for to draw. What makes heroic strife famed afar, famed afar? What makes heroic strife famed afar? What makes heroic strife, to whet the assassin's knife Or hunt a parent's life with bloody war. 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 alone to his fate. Then leave your schemes alone, adore the rising sun And leave a man alone to his fate... And leave a man alone to his fate. |
