| There were twa bonnie maidens, and three bonnie maidens,
|
| Cam' ower the Minch, and cam' ower the main,
|
| Wi' the wind for their way and the corrie for their hame,
|
| And they’re dearly welcome tae Skye again.
|
| Come alang, come alang, wi' your boatie and your song,
|
| Tae my hey! |
| bonnie maidens, my twa bonnie maids!
|
| The nicht, it is dark, and the redcoat is gane,
|
| And you’re dearly welcome tae Skye again.
|
| There is Flora, my honey, sae neat and sae bonnie,
|
| And ane that is tall, and handsome withall.
|
| Put the ane for my Queen and the ither for my King
|
| And they’re dearly welcome tae Skye again.
|
| There’s a wind on the tree, and a ship on the sea,
|
| Tae my hey! |
| bonnie maidens, my twa bonnie maids!
|
| By the sea mullet’s nest I will watch o’er the main,
|
| And you’re dearly welcome tae Skye again. |
