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 maun blame
You will hear, you will hear
Your doctrines I maun blame, you will 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 weak arm or the strong
By short sword or by long
For to draw, for to draw
By short sword or by long, for to draw

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
You will hear, you will hear
Your doctrines I maun blame, you will hear

What makes heroic strife, famed afar, famed afar
What makes heroic strife, famed afar
What makes heroic strife
To whet the assassin's knife
And haunt a parent's life
With bloody war, bloody war
And haunt parent's life with bloody war

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
You will hear, you will hear
Your doctrines I maun blame, you will hear

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 faults I will proclaim
Your doctrines I maun blame
You will hear, you will hear
Your doctrines I maun blame, you will hear
