Skye Boat Song lyrics

Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing onward the sailors cry carry the lad that was born to be king over the sea to Skye Loud the winds howl Loud the waves roar Thunderclouds fill the air baffled our foes stand by the shore follow they will not dare many's the lad fought on that day well the claymore did weild did weild yet when the night came silenty laid dead on coulodons field Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing onward the sailors cry carry the lad that was born to be king over the sea to Skye burned are our homes weep by the shore 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 was born to be king over the sea to Skye
