[Verse 1]
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, you shall hear
Your doctrines I maun blame, you shall hear
[Verse 2]
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, for to draw
A weak arm and a strang, for to draw
[Verse 3]
What makes heroic strife, famed afar, famed afar?
What makes heroic strife famed afar?
What makes heroic strife?
To whet th' assassin's knife
Or hunt a Parent's life, wi' bluidy war, wi' bluidy war
Or hunt a Parent's life, wi' bluidy war
[Verse 4]
Then let your schemes alone, in the state, in the state
Then let your schemes alone in the state
So let 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, 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, you shall hear
Your doctrines I maun blame, you shall hear
[Verse 2]
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, for to draw
A weak arm and a strang, for to draw
[Verse 3]
What makes heroic strife, famed afar, famed afar?
What makes heroic strife famed afar?
What makes heroic strife?
To whet th' assassin's knife
Or hunt a Parent's life, wi' bluidy war, wi' bluidy war
Or hunt a Parent's life, wi' bluidy war
[Verse 4]
Then let your schemes alone, in the state, in the state
Then let your schemes alone in the state
So let 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
