Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar
Thunderclaps rend the air
Baffled, our foes stand by the shore
Follow they will not dare
[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
Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep
Ocean's a royal bed
Rock'd in the deep Flora will keep
Watch o'er your weary head
Burned are our homes, exile and d**h
Scattered the loyal man
Yet ere the sword, cool in the sheath
Charlie will come again
