The Skye Boat Song lyrics
Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on a wing
Onward the sailor's cry
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye
Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep
Ocean's a royal bed
Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep
Watched by your weary head
Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on a wing
Onward the sailor's cry
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye
Many's the lad fought on that day
Well, the Claymore could wield
When the night came, silently lay
Dead on Culloden's field
Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on a wing
Onward the sailor's cry
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye
Burned are our homes, exile and death
Scatter the loyal men
Yet, 'ere the sword cool in the sheath
Charlie will come again!
Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on a wing
Onward the sailor's cry
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye
