[Verse 1]
EmYe Jacobites by name, lend an eGar, lend an Dear,
EmYe Jacobites by name, Dlend an Emear.
GYe Jacobites by name, Dyour faults I will proclaim,
EmYour doctrines I maun blame, you shall Ghear, you shall Dhear,
EmYour doctrines I maun blame, Dyou shall Emhear.
[Verse 2]
EmWhat's right and what is wrang, by the Glaw, by the Dlaw,
EmWhat's right and what is wrang, Dby the lEmaw.
GWhat's right and what is wrang, Dthe short sword and the lang,
EmA weak arm and a strang, for to Gdraw, for to Ddraw,
EmA weak arm and a strang, Dfor to Emdraw.
[Verse 3]
EmWhat makes heroic strife, famed Gafar? famed Dafar?
EmWhat makes heroic strife, Dfamed Emafar?
GWhat makes heroic strife, Dto whet the assasins knife,
EmOr haunt a parent's life, wi' bloody Gwar? bloody Dwar?
EmOr haunt a parent's life, Dwi' bloody Emwar?
[Verse 4]
EmThen let your schemes alone, in the Gstate, in the Dstate,
EmAye, let your schemes alone, Din the Emstate.
GOh, leave your schemes alone, Dadore the rising sun,
EmAnd leave a man undone, to his Gfate, to his Dfate,
EmAye, leave a man undone, Dto his Emfate.
[Verse 1]
EmYe Jacobites by name, lend an eGar, lend an Dear,
EmYe Jacobites by name, Dlend an Emear.
GYe Jacobites by name, Dyour faults I will proclaim,
EmYour doctrines I maun blame, you shall Ghear, you shall Dhear,
EmYour doctrines I maun blame, Dyou shall Emhear.
