Ye Jacobites By Name

Trad arr. Kenny/ Loughlin/ Shaw/ Staines/ Tingey

chorus
Ye Jocobites by name lend an ear, lend an ear
Ye Jocobites by name lend an ear
Ye Jocobites by name
Your faults I will proclaim
Your doctrines I will blame
You shall hear, you shall hear
Your doctrines I will 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
By short sword or by long
A weak arm or a strong for to draw, for to draw
A weak arm or 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 assassin's knife
And haunt a parent’s life
With bloody war, bloody war
And haunt a parent’s life with bloody war

chorus

Then leave affairs alone in the state, in the state
Then leave affairs alone in the state
Then leave affairs alone
Adore the arising sun
And leave a man undone
Unto his fate, to his fate
And leave a man undone unto his fate

chorus
