Ye Jacobites By Name Lyrics

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

Ye shall hear, ye shall hear

Your doctrines I must blame, ye shall hear



What's a-right and what is wrong

By the law, by the law

What's a-right and what is wrong by the law?



What's a-right and what is wrong?

The weak arm and the strong

The short sword and the long

For to draw, for to draw

The short sword and the long 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 haunt a parent's life

With bloody war, bloody war

Or haunt a parent's life with bloody war?



So let your schemes alone

In the state, in the state

Aye, let your schemes alone in the state



Let your schemes alone

Adore the rising sun

And leave a man alone

To his fate, to his fate

Aye, leave a man alone 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 faults I will proclaim

Your doctrines I must blame

Ye shall hear, ye shall hear

Your doctrines I must blame, ye shall hear



Ye Jacobites by name

Lend an ear, lend an ear

Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear
