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

Continues after the ad
Loud the winds howl, loud the waves 
roar,
Thunder clouds rend the air;
Baffled our foe's stand on the shore
Follow they will not dare

Chorus:

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

Chorus:

Many's the lad fought on that day
Well the claymore could wield
When the night came, silently lay
Dead on Culloden's field

Chorus:

Burned are our homes, exile and 
death
Scatter the loyal men
Yet, e'er the sword cool in the 
sheath,
Charlie will come again.

Chorus:
