“The Wee German Lairdie“ - Scottish Jacobite Song [Lyrics + Translation]

Early Jacobite song written after the Acts of Union in 1707, mocking King George I of Hanover as the first king of Great Britain, and his love of delving in his vegetable patch. Jacobitism is the belief that the throne of the United Kingdom should have continued in the House of Stuart after the *Scottish* King James II and VII, rather than be granted to the House of Hanover.
