Speed Bonnie Boat like a bird on the wing Onwards 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 Onwards the Sailors cry Carry the lad that's born to be king Over the sea to Skye Though the waves leap, soft shall you 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 Onwards the Sailors cry Carry the lad that's born to be king Over the sea to Skye Many the lad fought on that day Well the Claymore could wield When the night came, silently lay Death on Culloden's field Speed Bonnie Boat like a bird on the wing Onwards the Sailors cry Carry the lad that's born to be king Over the sea to Skye Burnt are our homes, exile and death Scatter the loyal men Yet ere the sword cool in it's sheath Charlie will come again! Speed Bonnie Boat like a bird on the wing Onwards the Sailors cry Carry the lad that's born to be king Over the sea to Skye
