A very old and famous Scottish folk song going back to the violent Jacobite risings of 1688–1746. Aggressively anti-Jacobite in their initial version, the lyrics were somewhat toned down by Robert Burns. The diatonic arrangement below is very basic, I am including the lyrics for reference.

3 67653 331° 761°
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear, lend an ear,
5 67653 331°
Ye Jacobites by name, lend an ear,
6 1°2°3°4°5°
Ye Jacobites by name,
4° 2° 1°765
Your fautes I will proclaim,
1° 3° 6763 356 1°62°
Your doctrines I maun blame, you shall hear, you shall hear
1° 3° 6763 356
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, for to draw
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.
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.
