Lyrics (Robert Burns):

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,
A weak arm or a strong for to draw, for to draw
A weak arm or a 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 what the assassin's knife,
Or hunt a Parent's life with bloody war, bloody war
Or hust 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!
