Carry the lad that's born to be king Over the sea to Skye Many's the lad fought on that day Well the claymore did wield When the night came silently lain Dead on Colloden field 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 Though the waves heave soft will ye 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 Onward the sailors cry. Carry the lad that's born to be king Over the sea to Skye |
