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 might blame - you shall hear

What makes heroic strife, famed afar, famed afar
What makes heroic strife famed afar
What makes heroic strife
To whet th´ assassin´s knife
Or hunt a parent´s life, wi´ bluidy war, wi´ bluidy war

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 a strong, for to draw

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
