Ye Jacobites by Name Songtext
von Noel McLoughlin

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, 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, 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

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, you shall hear
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear


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, bloody war?
Or hunt a parent′s life with bloody war?

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, you shall hear
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear

Then let your schemes alone in the state, in the state
Then let your schemes alone in the state
Then 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 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, you shall hear
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear
