The Skye Boat Song lyrics
Song information
Artist: John Mcdermott Album: Old Friends
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)
