Ye Jacobites By Name Songtext

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
