Ye Jacobites By Name
Robert Burns 1759 - 1796

Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear,
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear,
Ye Jacobites by name,
Your fautes I will proclaim,
Your doctrines I maun blame, you will hear, you will hear
Your doctrines I maun blame, you will 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.

What makes heroic strife, famed afar, famed afar?
What makes heroic strife famed afar?
What makes heroic strife?
To whet th' assassin's knife,
Or hunt a parent's life, wi' bloody war?

Then let your schemes alone, in the state, in the state,
Then let your schemes alone in the state.
So 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

“All I wanted was to have fun with this song - go total Rock & Roll and invite my family to be a part of the process and elevate the track. I had the idea of being in a bluesy mood and I thought “what is the silliest idea I could have” and then I was inspired - what about a slinky toy? From there I wondered what conversation could be had with a slinky toy and also how would you maybe feel blue about it? I thought you could feel blue if the slinky toy would not go down the stairs as this is what they are designed to do - and so there it is. I am so happy with how this song came together and I think it captures the joy and fun I was going for as well as a few hooks along the way” 

Inspired by 60's Rock & Roll, 00's Garage Rock and Classic Rock - “Slinky Bluesy Mood”

You say "Come on and chase me down the stairs", alright 
Then you're a circus in my hand
"Take me out, take me, take me anywhere"
"No, not tonight cos' you got other plans"

I feel down when you can't go down
And I get high when you get to the top
You're like an elevator with your attitude
That's why I'm in a slinky bluesy mood

I feel down when you can't go down 
(you can't get down those stairs, yeah)
And I get high when you get to the top
(All the way)
You're like an elevator with your attitude
That's why I'm in a, that's why I'm in a slinky bluesy mood
