Over the Sea to Sky - The Munros

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,

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.

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.
