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
