Real Mckenzies - Skye Boat Song lyrics

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 was our homes

Exile and death

Scatter the loyal men

Yet for my sword, here in my hand,

Charlie will come again

Many's the lad

We fought on that day

Claymores were swinging weild

When the night came

Silenty laid dead on Culloden's field

Burned was my home

Exile and jail

Scatter the loyal men

Yet for my sword, here in my hand,

Charlie will come again

Burned was my home

Exile and death

Scatter the loyal men

Yet for my sword, here in my hand,

Charlie will 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
