Lyrics

Ye jacobites by name/the rights of man
(Both traditional; arranged by seven nations)

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 maun blame and you shall hear
You shall hear
Your doctrines I maun blame and 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, what is wrong
The short sword and the long
The weak arm and the strong for to draw
For to draw
The weak arm and the 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
And claim a parent's life with bloody war
Bloody war
And claim a parent's life with bloody war

So let your schemes
In this day, in this day
So let your schemes along
In this day
So let your schemes along
Adore the rising sun
And leave a man undone to his fate
To his fate
And leave a man undone to his fate
