[@williamtaylor3760]

Still I find myself coming back to this video, got a certain vibe to it that helps me relax

[@nothosaur]

Wow, that's a rich voice. Wonderful and comforting to hear.

[@erinaurora8866]

Would pay for a studio version of this and the Braes o killiecrankie. Amazing!

[@peterwerninck9529]

Awesome cover! Nice voice and extra special thanks for putting both your chords and lyrics in the description making my life much easier! You, sir, are a true saint! Also love fae Scotland! Would love to play in dear ol Canada! Big tradition of folk music there from lots of sources so I am told!

[@BardofCornwall]

Glad you liked it!

[@foureyes99]

Excellent song.

[@RetiredUSNChief]

So I'm logging onto youtube and the first thing is see is a link to this video..."Hey! There's a cool song! I hope this guy is good!" . What a shock to realize it was the Bard himself with a newly shorn baby face! . And another seriously well rendered song, of course. You never disappoint!

[@andy1ayrshire]

[@edinburgher1719]

Love your songs, Jesse and more so that you keep a tradition alive! You do those songs justice every time , however, as I am not quite au fait with your latest ventures it would be great to know what you`re up to these days. :)

[@Mandolin1944]

Well done! Well done! This was a spellbinding performance!

Lyrics, in original Scots form: Ye Jacobites by name, give an ear, give an ear, Ye Jacobites by name, give an ear, Ye Jacobites by name, Your fautes I will proclaim, Your doctrines I maun blame, you shall hear. What is Right, and What is Wrang, by the law, by the law? What is Right and what is Wrang by the law? What is Right, and what is Wrang? A short sword, and a lang, A weak arm and a strang, 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' bluidy war? 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.

I love how Islay hardly notices when you start playing. My family's cat takes off running at the first strum!

[@amolastoria]

You have done a great job on this song! I like the beardless look as well.

[@scratchingcat]

Great music as always.

[@Paul7-7-7-7]

Ye Jacobites = Legend!

[@Luftwaffels]

always a pleasure to tune in. Keep it up my friend.

[@rainbowBOOST]

you switched the lyrics in a really funny way in the beginning! :P i really love your covers!

[@todabrilla]

Excellent, as always, sir! And happy new year to you!

[@professorcook2704]

Great performance, but it is not about any of the historic Jacobite rebellions. It takes its name and tune from an earlier song on the subject, but Burns adapts his topic to focus on the leaders of his own day, the new "Jacobites" who endanger honest people with their wars and plots. That's part of what makes the song so wonderful, and it would be less interesting if it was just about the insurrection earlier in the century. The genius of Burns lies in the way he can transform old songs this way.

[@BardofCornwall]

Thanks for the insight, Professor Cook!

[@fairydustedasmr3191]

So haunting.
