Ye Jacobites by name, lend an e ar, give an ear !
Ye Jac obites by name, lend an ear,
Ye Jac obites by name,

Your doc trines I maun blame - you shall hear !
2. 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 !
3. 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 !
4. 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 !
