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 by 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 heave

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
