You Jacobites By Name Lyrics - Prime Cuts - Tempest

Chorus: 

You Jacobites by name 

Lend and ear, lend an ear 

You Jacobites by name, lend an ear 

You Jacobites by name 

Your faults I will proclaim 

Your doctrines I must blame 

You shall hear, you shall hear 

Your doctrines I must blame 

You shall hear 

What is right and what is wrong 

By the law, by the law? 

What is right and what is wrong, 

By the law? 

What is 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 

Chorus: 

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 parents life? 

Bloody war, bloody war. 

Or haunt a parent's life, 

Bloody war 

Chorus 

Then let your schemes alone, 

In the state, in the state 

Then let your schemes alone, in the state 

Let wretched schemes alone, 

That dare the rising sun 

And leave a man undone, 

To his fate, to his fate 

And leave a man undone, 

To his fate 

Chorus
