Skye Boat Song

Traditional, Sir Harold Boulton

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
Loud the winds howl
Loud the waves roar
Thunderclaps rend the air;
Baffled, our foes
Stand on the shore
Follow they will not dare

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
Many's the lad
Fought on that day
Well the Claymore could wield
When the night came
Silently lay
Dead in Culloden's field

[Verse 4]
Burned are their homes
Exile and death
Scatter the loyal men
Yet ere the sword
Cool in the sheath
Charlie will come again

[Chorus]
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
