Ye Jacobites by Name Songtext
von Connemara Stone Company

Ye Jocobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear
Ye Jocobites 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 or a long
A weak arm or strong for to draw, for to draw
A weak arm or strong for to draw

What makes heroic strife famed afar, famed afar?
What makes heroic strife famed afar?
What makes heroic strife, to wet the assassin′s knife,
Or hunt a parent‘s life with bloody war, bloody war
Or hunt a parent‘s life with bloody war?


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