Fiddler's Green

Jacobites

Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear

Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear

Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear

Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear

What's right and what's wrong

By the law, by the law

What's right and what's wrong by the law?

What makes heroic strife, famed afar, famed afar?

What makes heroic strife, famed afar

What makes heroic strife to whet the assassin's knife

Or haunt a parent's life

With bloody war, bloody war

What makes heroic strife to whet the assassin's knife

Or haunt a parent's life with bloody 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, to his fate

Then let your schemes alone

Adore the rising sun

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

You doctrines I must blame

You shall hear, you shall hear

Ye Jacobites by name, your faults I will proclaim

You doctrines I must blame, you shall hear
