The Skye Boat Song lyrics
Send "The Skye Boat Song" Ringtone to your Cell
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
Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar,
Thunder clouds rend the air;
Baffled our foe`s stand on the shore
Follow they will not dare
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
Many`s the lad fought on that day
Well the claymore could wield
When the night came, silently lay
Dead on Culloden`s field
Burned are our homes, exile and death
Scatter the loyal men
Yet, e`er the sword cool in the sheath,
Charlie will come again.
*note:This song commemorates the escape of Bonnie Prince Charlie from these
shores when Flora MacDonald took him, disguised as a serving maid,
from Uist to Skye in a small boat.
Flora is buried at Kilmuir on the north coast of Skye. Prince Charlie
near Rome where he was born.
