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 leap, soft shall he sleep
The ocean's a royal bed
Rocked in the deep, flora will keep
Watch by the 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
Burned are our homes, exiled in death
Scatter the loyal men
Yet ere the sword, cool in it's sheath
Charlie will come again
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
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
Over the sea to skye
