Skye Boat Song (斯凯岛船歌) - Laura Wright

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 winds howl 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

Though the waves leap

Soft shall 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

Many's the lad fought on that day

Well the Claymore could wield

When the night came

Silently lay

Dead in Culloden's field

Burned are their homes

Exile and death

Scatter the loyal men

Yet ere the sword cool in the sheath

Charlie will come again

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

Over the sea to sk
