Skye Boat Song
(source: "Our Chalet Songbook", Our Chalet Committee, 1981.)
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.
- Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar,
- Thunderclouds rend the air.
- Baffled, our foes stand on the shore.
- Follow, they will not dare.
Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep,
- Ocean's a royal bed.
- Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep
- Watch by your weary head.
