Jacobites Songtext

von Fiddler's Green

Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear

What's right and what is wrong
By the law, by the law
What's right and what is wrong by the law?

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 haunt a parent's life
With bloody war, bloody war
What makes heroic strife to whet the assassin's knife
Or haunt 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, lend an ear, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear

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
Then let your schemes alone
Adore the rising sun
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, lend an ear, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear
Ye Jacobites by name, your faults I will proclaim
You doctrines I must blame
You shall hear, you shall hear
Ye Jacobites by name, your faults I will proclaim
You doctrines I must blame, you shall hear
