Ye Jacobites By Name (Full Length)

Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear

Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear.

Ye Jacobites by name, your fau'ts 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, what is wrong, by the law, by the law?

What is right, what is wrong, by the law?

What is right, what is wrong, a weak arm or a strong?

A short sword or a long for to draw, for to draw

A short sword or a long for to draw?

Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear

Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear.

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?

Or haunt a parent's life wi' bloody war, bloody war

Or haunt a parent's life wi' bloody war?

CHORUS

Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear

Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear.

Ye Jacobites by name, your fau'ts I will proclaim

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

Your doctrines I maun blame you will hear.

Then leave your schemes alone in the state, in the state

Leave your schemes alone in the state

Then leave your schemes alone, adore the rising sun

And leave a man alone to his fate, to his fate

And leave a man alone to his fate.

CHORUS

Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear

Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear.

Ye Jacobites by name, your fau'ts I will proclaim

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

Your doctrines I maun blame you will hear.
