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 
 
Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar, 
Thunder clouds rend the air; 
Baffled our foe's stand on the shore 
Follow they will not dare 
 
Chorus: 
 
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 
 
Chorus: 
 
Many's the lad fought on that day 
Well the claymore could wield 
When the night came, silently lay 
Dead on Culloden's field 
 
Chorus: 
 
Burned are our homes, exile and death 
Scatter the loyal men 
Yet, e'er the sword cool in the sheath, 
Charlie will come again. 
 
Chorus:
