(Sir Harold Boulton, Annie MacLeod)

|
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,
|
Thunder clouds rend the air.
|
Baffled our foes stand by the shore,
|
Follow they will not dare.

La la la ...

La la la ...

La la la ...

Over the sea to Skye.
