Skye Boat Song

A wonderful traditional Scottish Tune: A massivly dreamy arrangement produced by our resident genius Mr Rick Benbow, growing strings, horns and even a full harp score make this track a rousing lullaby, soothing whilst stirring.


This version is available on the double album The Nursery Rhyme Collection


                 

Skye Boat Song
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,
Thunderclouds rend the air;
Baffled, our foes stand by the shore,
Follow they will not dare.

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.

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.

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,
Over the sea to Skye.
