The Skye Boat Song
Chorus: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.
Verse 1:Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar,
Thunderclaps rend the air.Baffled, our foes stand by the shore,
Follow they will not dare.
Chorus
Verse 2: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.
Chorus
