Ye Jacobites                                                                              Robert Burns Trad

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.

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.

What makes heroic strife famed afar, famed afar?

What makes heroic strife famed afar?

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

Or hunt a parent's life with bloody war.

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 alone to his fate.

Then leave your schemes alone, adore the rising sun

And leave a man alone to his fate...

And leave a man alone to his fate.
