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, you're false i will proclaim
Your doctrines i must blame,
You shall hear,
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 the short arm or the long,
For to draw, 
For to draw.

Chorus

What makes heroic strife, famed afar, famed afar,
What makes heroic strife, famed afar,
What makes heroic strife, to whet the assassins knife,
Or haunts a parents life,
With bloody war,
Bloody war,

Chorus

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.

Chorus
