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 sky

Loud the wind howls

Loud the waves roar

Thunderclaps rend the air

Baffled our foes

Stand by 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 sky

Many's the lad fought on that day

Well the claymore did wield

When the night came

Silently lain

Dead on colloden 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 sky
