| Scots' Music |
| Ye Jacobites By Name |
| A simple brief thought on Scottish Independance. Were the outdated union not of some very high value to England and the English, why would they fight so to try to keep it? There are only so many slices to a pie, for one to have more, another must have less. Lastly - to those Scottish "Loyalists" - to whom are you loyal? Scots royalty died in the 1700's so it can be no Scots crown - And certainly not it appears to those who came before, that bled for Scotland and her freedom ! |
| In the words of Burns, as he wrote from the heart. Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled, Scots, wham Bruce has aften led, Welcome to your gory bed, Or to victorie. Now's the day, and now's the hour; See the front o' battle lour; See approach proud Edward's power, Chains and slaverie. Wha would be a traitor-knave? Wha can fill a coward's grave? Wha sae base as be a Slave? Let him turn and flie: Wha for Scotland's king and law, Freedom's sword will strongly draw, Free-man stand, or free-man fa', Let him follow me. By Oppression's woes and pains! By your Sons in servile chains! We will drain our dearest veins, But they shall be free! Lay the proud Usurpers low! Tyrants fall in every foe! Liberty's in every blow! Let us Do - or Die!!! Choose your destiny. |
chorus Ye Jacobites by name lend an ear, lend an ear Ye Jacobites by name lend an ear, Ye Jacobites by name yer faults I will proclaim Yer doctrines I maun blame you will hear, you will hear Yer doctrines I maun blame. 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 the weak airm and the strong The short sword and the long for to draw, for to draw, The short sword and the long for to draw CHORUS What makes heroic strife famed afar famed afar What makes heroic strife famed afar What makes heroic strife tae whet the assassins knife And haunt a parents life wi bloody war,. Bloody war And haunt a parents life wi bloody war CHORUS So let yer schemes alone in the state in the state So let yer schemmes alone in the state So let your schemes alone adore the rising sun And leave a man alone tae his fate tae his fate And let a man alone tae his fate CHORUS |
