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 could wield When the night came silently lay Dead on Culloden's 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 Billow and breeze islands and seas Mountains of rain and sun All that was good all that was fair All that was ours is gone 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 Burned are our homes exile and death Scatter the loyal men Yet e′er 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
