Ye Jacobites by Name/The Rights of Man

(Both traditional; arranged by Seven Nations)



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 maun blame and you shall hear

You shall hear

Your doctrines I maun blame and you shall hear



What is right, what is wrong

By the law, by the law

What is right and what is wrong by the law

What is right, what is wrong

The short sword and the long

The weak arm and the strong for to draw

For to draw

The weak arm and the strong for to draw



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 claim a parent's life with bloody war

Bloody war

And claim a parent's life with bloody war



So let your schemes

In this day, in this day

So let your schemes along

In this day

So let your schemes along

Adore the rising sun

And leave a man undone to his fate

To his fate

And leave a man undone to his fate
