Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Onward the sailors cry
You gotta carry the lad that is born to be King
Over the sea to Skye

Loud the winds howl, loud the winds roar
Thunderclouds rend the air
Baffled our foes, stand on the shore
Follow they will not dare

Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Onward the sailors cry
You gotta carry the lad that is born to be King
Over the sea to Skye

Burned are our homes, Exile and death
Scatter the loyal men
Yet oer the sword, cool in the sheath
Charlie will come again

Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Onward the sailors cry
You gotta carry the lad that is born to be King
Over the sea to Skye

Over the sea to Skye
