Ye Jacobites

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 And your doctrines I must blame, and you shall hear, you shall hear Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear What's right and what is wrong by the law, by the law What's right and what is wrong by the law What's right and what is wrong, a short sword and a long A weak arm and a strong for to draw, for to draw A weak arm and a 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 Or hunt a parent's life with bloody war, bloody war Or hunt a parent's life with bloody war Then let your schemes alone in the state, in the state I'll leave your schemes alone in the state Then leave your schemes alone, adore the rising sun And leave a man alone to his fate, to his fate I'll leave a man alone 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 And your doctrines I must blame, and you shall hear, you shall hear Your doctrines I must blame, you shall hear --- Ye Jacobites - Eddi Reader
