Lyrics : 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

Though the waves leap
Soft shall ye sleep
Ocean's a royal bed
Rocked in the deep
Flora will keep
Watch by your weary head

Speed, bonniе boat
Like a bird on the wing
"Onward!" the sailors cry
Carry thе lad
That's born to be King
Over the sea to Skye

Many's the lad
Fought on that day
Well the Claymore could wield
When the night came
Silently lay
Dead in Culloden's field

Burned are their homes
Exile and death
Scatter the loyal men
Yet ere the sword
Cool in the sheath
Charlie will come again

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
Over the sea to Skye
