Lyrics The Isle Of Skye - The Corries

The Isle Of Skye

There are twa bonnie maidens, and three bonnie maidens
Come owre the Minch, come owre the main
With the wind for their way and the corry for their hame
They are dearly welcome back to Skye once again
Come along, come along wi' your boatie and your song
My ain bonnie maids, my twa bonnie maids
For the night it is dark, the Redcoat is gone
And ye are dearly welcome back to Skye once again
There is Flora, my honey, sae dear, sae bonnie
And ane, that’s sae tall, sae handsome and all
Put the one for my king and the other for my queen
They are dearly welcome back to Skye once again
Come along, come along wi' your boatie and your song
My ain bonnie maids, my twa bonnie maids
For the Lady Macoulain, she dwelleth all her lane
And ye are dearly welcome back to Skye once again
Her arm it is long and her petticoat is strong
My ain bonnie maids, my twa bonnie maids
The sea moullit’s nest I will watch o’er the main
And ye are dearly welcome back to Skye once again
Come along, come along wi' your boatie and your song
My ain bonnie maids, my twa bonnie maids
And saft shall ye rest where the heather grows best
And ye are dearly welcome back to Skye once again
There’s a wind in the tree, a ship on the sea
My ain bonnie maids, my twa bonnie maids
Your cradle I’ll rock on the lea of the rock
And ye are dearly welcome back to Skye once again
Come along, come along wi' your boatie and your song
My ain bonnie maids, my twa bonnie maids
Mair sound shall ye sleep as she sail o’er the deep
And ye are dearly welcome back to Skye once again
