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.
2. Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar | 3. 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.
4. Many's the lad fought on that day |
5. Burned are our homes, exile and death Scatter the loyal men Yet, e'er the sword cool in the sheath Charlie will come again. |
