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 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 and a long A weak arm and a strong, For to draw, for to draw A weak arm and a strong, For to draw Chorus: What makes heroic strife Famed afar, famed afar? What makes heroic strife famed afar? What makes heroic strife, To whet the a**a**in's knife? Or haunt a parents life? Bloody war, bloody war. Or haunt a parent's life, Bloody war Chorus Then 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 fate Chorus
