Ye Jacobites by Quilty
Ye Jacobites lyrics
Ye Jacobites by name, lend a ear, lend a ear,
Ye Jacobites by name, lend a ear.
Ye Jacobites by name, your faults I will proclaim
Your doctriens I must blaim, you shall hear,
You shall hear,
Your doctrins I must blam, you shall hear.
What is right, 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, my short sword or my
long,
A weak arm or a strong for to draw,
For to draw
A weak arm or 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 assassins' knife,
Or harned to pare its life with bloody war,
Bloody war,
Or harned to pare its life with bloody war.
Then let your schemes unload, in the state, in the
state,
Then let your schemes unload, in the state.
Then let your schemes unload and o'ere the rising sun
And leave a man undone to his fate,
To his fate,
And leave a man undone to his fate.
