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
Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar
Thunderclouds in the air
Baffled, our foes stand on the shore
To follow they will not dare
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
Oh, the waves leap, soft shall he sleep
For ocean's a royal bed
Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep
Watch o'er his weary head
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 are our homes, exile and death
Scatter the loyal men
Yet, ere the sword sleeps in the sheath
Our Charlie, he'll 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
