The Skye Boat Song - Live

Lyrics

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 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
 Many's the lad fought on that day
 Well the claymore did wield
 When the night came
 Silently lain
 Dead on Colloden 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 heave
 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
