Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing,

Onward, the sailors cry.

Carry the lad that's born to be king
B F D
over the sea to Skye.
B A
Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar,
G Em
Thunderclaps rend the air,

Baffled our foes stand by the shore,
G Em D
Follow they will not dare.
D G A D
Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep,
B F D
Ocean's a royal bed.

Rock'd in the deep Flora will keep
B F D
Watch o'er your weary head.

Burned are our homes, exile and death,
G Em
Scattered the loyal man.

Yet ere the sword, cool in the sheath,
G Em G
Charlie will come again.
