Skye Boat Song

Chorus

Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing,

Onward the sailors cry,

Carry the lad that is born to be King,

Over the sea to Skye.

Verse 1

Loud the winds howl, loud the winds roar,

Thunderclaps rend the air,

baffled our foes, stand on the shore,

follow they will not dare.

Verse 2

Though the waves leap soft shall ye sleep,

Oceans a royal bed,

Rocked in the deep, flora will keep,

Watch by your weary head.

Verse 3

Manys the lad fought on the day,

Well the claymore did weild,

When the night came, silently lay,

Dead on Cullodens field

verse 4

Burned are our homes, Exile and death,

Scatter the loyal men,

yet oer the sword, cool in the sheath,

Charlie will come again.
