The Skye Boat Song Lyrics by John Mcdermott

The Skye Boat Song Lyrics

    (chorus)
    Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on a wing,
    Onward the sialor's 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
    Watched by your weary head.

    (chorus)

    Many's the lad fought on that day
    Well the claymore could weild.
    When the night came, silently lay
    Dead on culloden's field.

    (chorus)

    Burned are our homes, exile and death
    Scatter the loyal men.
    Yet, 'ere the sword cool in the sheath
    Charlie will come again!

    (chorus)
