Noel McLoughlin - The Skye Boat Song lyrics

Artist: Noel McLoughlin

album: Noel Mcloughlin: 20 Best of Scotland


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 winds howl, Loud the waves roar
Thunder claps rend the air
Baffled our foes stand by 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!
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.
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 could weild
When the night came, silently lay
Dead on Culloden's feild
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!
Burned are our homes, exile and death
Scatter the royal men
Yet ere the sword cool in the sheath
Charlie will come again
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!
Over the sea to Skye!
