Ye Tir Righans by Name
to the tune "Ye Jacobites by Name"

Chorus

Ye Tir Righan's by Name, lend an ear, lend an ear
Ye Tir Righan's by Name, lend an ear,
Miranda by her fame, no one can best her aim
McAndrew clan may claim, without fear, without fear
No one can best her aim, without fear. 

In Hartwood shire there lives, by the bow, by the bow
And unassuming miz, by the bow
her foe she'll not forgive, a champion she is,
her heart and soul she'll give, by the bow, by the bow
A champion she is, by the bow

Chorus

When Lion's take the sea, by the draw, by the draw,
to slake a battle spree, by the draw,
Alone there on the Quay, she'll force them all to flee
An archer fierce is she, by the draw, by the draw
she'll force them all to flee, by the draw.

Chorus

Seagirtians send their knaves, for the north, for the north,
Their bonny and their braves, for the north
No sword can fight with staves, guard fast against the waves
an armour piercing laves, for the north for the north
guard fast against the waves, for the north.

Chorus

No mighty man or beast, she will stand, she will stand
could best her at her least, she will stand.
Her honor will increase, for war or faire or feast
each knock she will release, she will stand, she will stand
each knock she will release, she will stand.
