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 blaim
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, a short sword or a long
A weak arm and a strong, for to draw, for to draw
A weak arm and a strong, for to draw
(Refrain)
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
(Refrain)
So let your schemes alone, in the state, in the state
So let your schemes alone, in the state
So 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
(Refrain)
