about

One of my favourite Scottish staples....

lyrics

(chorus)
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 will blame, you shall hear, you shall hear.
Your doctrines I will 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 or the long
A weak arm or a strong for to draw, for to draw.
A weak arm or a strong 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 assassin's knife
Or hunt a parent's life with bloody war, bloody war.
Or hunt a parent's life with 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)
