Title: Ye Jacobites by Name Artist: The Johnstons (Adrienne Johnston, Lucy Johnston, Mick Moloney and Paul Brady) Album: The Barley Corn (1969) Lyrics (Robert Burns): 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 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? By short sword or by long, A weak arm or a strong for to draw, for to draw A weak arm or a strong for to draw 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 Your doctrines I must blame - you shall hear, you shall hear! Your doctrines I must blame - you shall hear! What makes heroic strife, famed afar, famed afar? What makes heroic strife famed afar? What makes heroic strife To what the assassin's knife, Or hunt a Parent's life with bloody war, bloody war Or hust a Parent's life with bloody war 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 Your doctrines I must blame - you shall hear, you shall hear! Your doctrines I must blame - you shall hear! 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! 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 Your doctrines I must blame - you shall hear, you shall hear! Your doctrines I must blame - you shall hear!
