Alastair McDonald Ye Jacobites By Name song lyrics

Ye Jacobites by name lend an ear, lend an ear

Ye Jacobites 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 makes heroic strife famed afar, famed afar?

What makes heroic strife famed afar?

What makes heroic strife, to whet the assassin's knife

and hunt a parent's life with bloody war, bloody war.

and hunt a parent's life with bloody war.

Ye Jacobites by name lend an ear, lend an ear

Ye Jacobites 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 and a long

A weak arm and a strong for to draw, for to draw

A weak arm and a strong for to draw.

Ye Jacobites by name lend an ear, lend an ear

Ye Jacobites 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.

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

Then leave your 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.

Ye Jacobites by name lend an ear, lend an ear

Ye Jacobites 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...
