Speed Bonnie boat like a bird on the wing,
Onward the sailors cry,
Carry the child on the wave as we sing,
Over the sea to Skye.

Loud the winds howl,
Loud the waves roar,
Thunderclaps fill the air.
See the storm rage,
But as it leaves,
Calmness is everywhere.

Speed Bonnie boat like a bird on the wing,
Onward the sailors cry,
Carry the child on the wave as we sing,
Over the sea to Skye.

Though the waves leap,
Soft shall ye sleep,
Ocean’s a royal bed.
Rocked in the deep,
Mother will keep
Watch by your weary head.

Speed Bonnie boat like a bird on the wing,
Onward the sailors cry,
Carry the child on the wave as we sing,
Over the sea to Skye.

Over the sea to Skye.
