Ye Jacobites by Name Songtext
von The Real McKenzies

Ye Jacobites by name
Give an ear, give an ear
Ye Jacobites by name, give an ear
Ye Jacobites by name
Give an ear, give an ear
Ye Jacobites by name, give an ear

Ye Jacobites by name
Your faults I will proclaim
Your doctrines I maun blame
You shall hear, you shall hear
Your doctrines I maun blaim, you shall hear


What is right and what is wrong
By the law, by the law
What′s right and what is wrong, by the law
What's right and what is wrong
By the law, by the law
What′s 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, for to draw
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, bloody war
Or hunt a parent′s life with bloody war

Or hunt a parent′s life with bloody war
Or hunt a parent's life with bloody war
