Skye Boat Song – sing along with the recording (Preston and the lunch gang)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
\n\u2018Onward!\u2019 the sailors cry.
\nCarry the\u00a0lad that’s born to be king
\nOver the sea to\u00a0Skye.<\/span><\/p>\n

Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar,<\/span>
\nThunderclaps rend the air.<\/span>
\nBaffled, our foes stand by the shore,<\/span>
\nFollow they will not dare.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,<\/span>
\n\u2018Onward!\u2019 the sailors cry.<\/span>
\nCarry the\u00a0lad that’s born to be king
\nOver the sea to\u00a0Skye.<\/span><\/p>\n

Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep,<\/span>
\nOcean’s a royal bed.<\/span>
\nRocked in the deep,\u00a0Flora\u00a0will keep
\nWatch by your weary head.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
\n\u2018Onward!\u2019 the sailors cry.
\nCarry the\u00a0lad that’s born to be king
\nOver the sea to\u00a0Skye.<\/span><\/p>\n
