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 wind howls   loud the waves roar      Thunderclaps rend the air   Baffled our foes   stand on the shore   Follow they will not dare      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      Many's the lad fought on that day   Well the claymore did wield   When the night came   silently lain   Dead on Colloden field      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      Though the waves leap   soft will ye sleep   Ocean's a royal bed   Rocked in the deep   Flora will keep   Watch by your weary head      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
