Skye Boat Song Bagpipes Lyrics
Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wingOnward the sailors cry.Carry the lad that’s born to be kingOver the sea to Skye
Loud the wind howlsloud the waves roar
Thunderclaps rend the airBaffled our foesstand by the shoreFollow they will not dare
Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wingOnward the sailors cry.Carry the lad that’s born to be kingOver the sea to Skye
Many’s the lad fought on that dayWell the claymore did wieldWhen the night camesilently lainDead on Culloden field
Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wingOnward the sailors cry.Carry the lad that’s born to be kingOver the sea to Skye
Though the waves heavesoft will ye sleepOcean’s a royal bedRocked in the deepFlora will keepWatch by your weary head
Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wingOnward the sailors cry.Carry the lad that’s born to be kingOver the sea to Skye
