I will pro-claim, Your doc-trlnes 1 maun blame — You shall hear !
Ye Jacobites by name, give an ear, give an ear !
Ye Jacobites by name, give an ear ;
Ye Jacobites by name,
Your fautes I will proclaim,
Your doctrines I maun blame — You shall hear !
What is right, and what is wrang, by the law, by the law?
What is right, and what is wrang, by the law ?
What is right, and what is wrang ?
A short sword and a lang,
A weak arm and a Strang for to draw !
What makes heroic strife famed afar, famed afar ?
What makes heroic strife famed afar?
What makes heroic strife ?
To whet th' assassin's knife,
Or hunt a parent's life wi' bluidy war !
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 !
