Rod Stewart - The Skye Boat Song lyrics

Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar Thunderclaps rend the air Baffled, our foes stand by the shore Follow they will not dare 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 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, exile and d**h Scattered the loyal man Yet ere the sword, cool in the 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 Many's the lad fought on that day Well the claymor could wield When the night came, silently lay Dead in Collodens field
