The Skye Boat Song |
| 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 winds howl, loud the waves roar |
| Thunderclaps rend the air; |
| Baffled, our foes stand on 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 lay |
| Dead on Cullodens 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 leap, 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 |
| Will ye no' come back again? |
| Will ye no' come back again? |
| Better loved ye canna be |
| Will ye no' come back again? |
