Skye Boat Song Lyrics - Real Mckenzies

Speed bonnie boat 

Like a bird on the wing 

Onward the sailors cry 

Carry the lad 

That was born to be king 

Over the sea to Skye 

Burned was our homes 

Exile and death 

Scatter the loyal men 

Yet for my sword, here in my hand, 

Charlie will come again 

Many's the lad 

We fought on that day 

Claymores were swinging weild 

When the night came 

Silenty laid dead on Culloden's field 

Burned was my home 

Exile and jail 

Scatter the loyal men 

Yet for my sword, here in my hand, 

Charlie will come again 

Burned was my home 

Exile and death 

Scatter the loyal men 

Yet for my sword, here in my hand, 

Charlie will come again 

Speed bonnie boat 

Like a bird on the wing 

Onward the sailors cry 

Carry the lad 

That was born to be king 

Over the sea to Skye
