Ye Jacobites by Name

from Hybrid Vigor by Beth Patterson

about

Traditional

I first fell in love with this song after hearing The Johnstons' rendition of it.

lyrics

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 must blame
You shall hear, you shall hear
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear

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
By short sword or by long
The weak arm or the strong
For to draw, for to draw
The weak arm or the strong, for to draw

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 must blame
You shall hear, you shall hear
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear

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 haunt a parent's life
With bloody war, bloody war
And 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
Your faults I will proclaim
Your doctrines I must blame
You shall hear, you shall hear
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear

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
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
Your faults I will proclaim
Your doctrines I must blame
You shall hear, you shall hear
Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear
