Skye Boat Song

Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar
Thunderclaps rend the air
Baffled, our foes stand by the shore
Follow they will not dare

[Chorus]
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
Rock'd in the deep Flora will keep
Watch o'er your weary head

Burned are our homes, exile and death
Scattered the loyal man
Yet ere the sword, cool in the sheath
Charlie will come again
