The Skye Boat Song lyrics
Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Onward the sailors cry.
Carry the lad that s born to be king
Over the sea to Skye
Loud the wind howls
loud the waves roar
Thunderclaps rend the air
Baffled our foes
stand by the shore
Follow they will not dare
Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Onward the sailors 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 did wield
When the night came
silently lain
Dead on Colloden field
Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Onward the sailors cry.
Carry the lad that s born to be king
Over the sea to Skye
Though the waves heave
soft will ye sleep
Ocean s a royal bed
Rocked in the deep
Flora will keep
Watch by your weary head
Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Onward the sailors cry.
Carry the lad that s born to be king
Over the sea to Skye
