The 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 wind howls, 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 did wield
 When the night came, silently lain
 Dead on Culloden 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
 Though the waves leap, soft will ye sleep
 Ocean's a royal bed
 Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep
 Watch by your weary head
 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
