Ye Jacobites by name, your fautes I will proclaim
Your doctrines I maun blame, you shall hear, your shall hear
Your doctrines I maun blame, you shall hear
What is right and waht is wrong, by the law, by the law
What is right and what is wrong, by the lwa
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 fames afar
What makes heroic strife, to whet the assasin's knife
Or hunt a parent's life wi' bloody war, bloody war
Or hunt a parent's life wi' bloody war
Ye Jacobites by name...
Then leave your schemes alone in the state, in the state
Then leave your schemes alone in the state
Then leave your schemes alone, adore the rising sun
And leave a man alone to his fate, to his fate
And leave a man alone to his fate
Ye Jacobites by name...
