lyrics

The Skye Boat Sond

Speed bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
Onward the sailors cry!
Carry the lad that is 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.

Thougt the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep,
Ocean's a royal bed;
Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep
Watch by your weary head.

Many's the lad fought on the day,
Well the claymore could wield
When the night came, silently lay
Dead on Culliden's field.

Burned are our homes, exile and death
Scatter the loyal men;
Yet, e'es the sword cool in the sheath,
Charlie will come again.
