Skye Boat Song
https://youtu.be/XBSqQPP4aVM

This version of the song really touches me.

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.
[Chorus]
Many's the lad fought on that day,
Well the claymore did wield,
When the night came, silently lay
Dead on Culloden field.
[Chorus]
Though the waves heave, soft will he sleep,
Ocean's a royal bed.
Rock'd in the deep Flora will keep
Watch by your weary head.
[Chorus]

My wife is a fan of the TV show Outlander, this song is played during the intro.

The song is the only part of the show I watch.



Let me help you out. Which way did you come in?
