Lyrics
(Scottish folk tune, Lyrics by Sir Harold Boulton, 1884)
Refrain
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 by the shore,
Follow they will not dare. (Refrain)
