Chorus:
You Jacobites by name
Lend and ear, lend an ear
You Jacobites by name, lend an ear
You Jacobites by name
Your faults I will proclaim
Your doctrines I must blame
You shall hear, you shall hear
Your doctrines I must blame
You shall hearWhat 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 and a long
A weak arm and a strong,
For to draw, for to draw
A weak arm and a strong,
For to drawChorus: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 parents life?
Bloody war, bloody war.
Or haunt a parent's life,
Bloody warChorusThen let your schemes alone,
In the state, in the state
Then let your schemes alone, in the state
Let wretched schemes alone,
That dare the rising sun
And leave a man undone,
To his fate, to his fate
And leave a man undone,
To his fateChorus
