Speed bonnie boat
like a bird on the wing
onward the sailors cry
carry the lad
who is 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 could weild could weild
yet when the night came
silenty lay dead on couloden's 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
exile and death
scatter the loyal men
yet 'er the sword
cool in the sheath
charlie will some again

Speed bonnie boat
like a bird on the wing
onward the sailors cry
carry the lad
who is born to be king
over the sea to Skye
