THE REAL MCKENZIES LYRICS - Skye Boat Song

THE REAL MCKENZIES LYRICS



"Skye Boat Song"






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 fill the air

baffled our foes

stand by the shore

follow they will not dare



many's the lad

fought on that day

well the claymore did weild did weild

yet when the night came

silenty laid dead on coulodons field



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

weep by the shore

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 was born to be king

over the sea to Skye
