Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,Onward! the sailors cry,carry the lad that' s born to be KingOver the sea to Skye.Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar,Thunderclapps fill 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 KingOver the sea to Skye.Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep,ocean's a royal bed.rocked in the deep, Flora will keepwatch 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 KingOver the sea to Skye.Many' s the lad fought on that day,Well the claymore could wield,When the night came, silently laydead on Culloden's field.Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,Onward! the sailors cry,carry the lad that' s born to be KingOver the sea to Skye.Burned are our homes, exile and deathScatter the loyal men;Yet e'er the sword cool in the sheathCharlie will come again.
