Ye Jacobites by Name Songtext
von The Johnstons

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
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
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 what the assassin′s knife,
Or hunt a Parent's life with bloody war, bloody war
Or hust 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
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
Your doctrines I must blame - you shall hear
