Ye Jacobites by name

Ye Jacobites by name, give an ear, give an ear;

Ye Jacobites by name, give an ear;

Ye Jacobites by name

Your fautes I will proclaim,

Your doctrines I maun blame,

You shall hear. -

What is Right, and what is Wrang, by the law, by the law?

What is Right, and what is Wrang, by the law?

What is Right, and what is Wrang?

A short Sword, and a lang,

A weak arm, and a strang

For to draw. -

What makes heroic strife, fam'd afar, fam'd afar?

What makes heroic strife, fam'd afar?

What makes heroic strife?

To whet th' Assassin's knife,

Or hunt a Parent's life

Wi' bludie war. -

Then let your schemes alone, in the State, in the State,

Then let your schemes alone in the State,

Then let your schemes alone,

Adore the rising sun,

And leave a Man undone

To his fate. -
