Bardic - Ye Jacobites By Name lyrics

Ye Jocobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear

Ye Jocobites by name, lend an ear

Ye 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 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 or strong for to draw, for to draw

A weak arm or strong for to draw

What makes heroic strife famed afar, famed afar ?

What makes heroic strife famed afar ?

What makes heroic strife, to wet the assassin’s knife,

Or hunt a parent‘s life with bloody war, bloody war

Or hunt a parent‘s life with bloody war ?

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

Then leavey our schemes alone in the state,

Then leave 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
