Lyrics
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 wind howls
Loud the waves roar
Thunderclaps 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
Many's the lad fought on that day
Well the claymore did wield
When the night came
Silently lain
Dead on Culloden field
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 heave
Soft will 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

I'm not Scottish but this song touches me to my soul. Like a remembrance of another time another life.
That's how it gets to me!
For me too
Yes me too I was Irish my few times my past life
me too.it's just a special feeling,isnat?
Outlanders Theme Song, does touch one’s soul.
There's just something so magical about Scotland!
No nation I would rather belong to🏴
Since my ancestors came from there, I have to agree!
Our music is mostly sad, about all that has been lost.
The North Atlantic have a habit of making special kinds of People.
It is a mystical place in OUR AUSTRALIAN DREAMTIME
The history behind this song is so amazing this is the song of Flora MacDonald who risked everything after the battle of Culloden to help bonnie prince Charlie escape to Skye. If this is the first you have heard of here I highly recommend looking her up she is not only a hero for Scotland but for all women around the world.
thanks i will
I have a Flora McDonald in my family tree. I think it might be her.
I went to her grave on the Isle of Skye and paid my respects
Paterson castle
Thanks for this! I'm teaching this song to a young voice student of mine, and was wondering who Flora is. :)
I just played this song to my 102 year old English mum as she is passing over. I am in NSW Austrlia now & she is in Ontario Canada but came over from England at the age of 18 on the first battle ship loaded up with WAR BRIDES in January of WW2. This song was written about her ancestor on her maternal side Osborne...bonnie prince Charlie I believe it was. Strangely enough in L.A. of all places in the 80's I met twin Scottish brothers who were musicians & knew this song when I asked them. As it turns out they are the decendents of those who ferried this anscestor of mine away from being beheaded by the British to the safety of the Isle of Skye. This life is strange. isn't it?
adendum....In KIngston Ontario when I was a child I dragged an MP Flora MacDonald up to our3rd floor attic of the 1800's house my mother is passing in now....to see a very large old old charcoal portrait of a young man hiding out in a tree stump holding a woman in a long period dress with bonnet on's hand in gratitude for the bread she held in her apron & was offering the young man while she looked
over her shoulder. Not sure how my family happened to have this amazing historical piece of art but when Flora MacDonald the MP saw this she said...OMG the woman who is feeding Bonnie Prince Charlie our ancestor was a MacDonald one of hers. So I met 2 familes that knew our family back in that day. Perhaps we DO travel in soul groups until the end of each epoch of time which we are conculding another as we speak. God bless us all. Just a story I thought was of interest.
Claro que es de interés, gracias
Thank you. A beautiful share. My family...Orkney. Escaped the battle of Culloden. Took the name Johnstone to hide...so I do not know my true clan.
❤❤❤

Thankyou for posting the Lyrics !!!
Thank you
"The Skye Boat Song" is a traditional Scottish folk song that tells the story of Bonnie Prince Charlie's escape from Scotland to the Isle of Skye after the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The song is believed to have been written in the early 19th century by Sir Harold Boulton, with lyrics that were set to a traditional melody.
Verse 1:
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.
The first verse sets the scene for the rest of the song. The "bonnie boat" is urged to sail quickly, with the sailors calling out to move forward. The reference to the "lad that's born to be King" refers to Bonnie Prince Charlie, who was the rightful heir to the throne of Scotland and had been defeated in battle. The destination is the Isle of Skye, which is where he sought refuge after the battle.
Verse 2:
Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar,
Thunderclaps rend the air;
Baffled, our foes stand by the shore,
Follow they will not dare.
The second verse describes the difficult conditions that the boat and its passengers must face. The winds and waves are fierce, and thunder echoes through the air. Despite this, the "foes" who seek to capture Bonnie Prince Charlie remain on the shore, afraid to follow the boat into the rough waters.
Chorus:
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.
The chorus repeats the opening verse, with the sailors once again urging the boat to move forward and take the prince to safety on the Isle of Skye.
Verse 3:
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.
The third verse offers a bit of comfort to the prince, who is described as being able to sleep peacefully despite the tumultuous conditions. The ocean is compared to a "royal bed" that rocks the prince to sleep, and Flora, a character who is believed to have helped him escape, is described as watching over him as he rests.
Verse 4:
Many's the lad fought on that day,
Well the Claymore could wield,
When the night came, silently lay
Dead on Culloden field.
The fourth verse reflects on the tragedy of the Battle of Culloden, in which many men fought and died for their cause. The Claymore, a type of sword used by Scottish warriors, is mentioned as a symbol of their bravery and skill. The final line refers to the aftermath of the battle, with many of the soldiers who fought and lost their lives lying silently on the field.
Verse 5:
Burned are our homes, exile and death,
Scattered the loyal men;
Yet ere the sword cool in the sheath
Charlie will come again.
The final verse speaks of the devastation that was wrought upon Scotland after the battle. Homes were burned, and loyal men were scattered or killed. However, the verse ends on a hopeful note, with the belief that Bonnie Prince Charlie will return and reclaim his throne. This line reflects the enduring hope and loyalty that many Scots felt towards their rightful ruler, even in the face of defeat and hardship.
Verse:
Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
Say, could that lass be I?
Merry of soul she sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye.
This verse serves as a sort of introduction to the story that the song tells. It speaks of a "lass" who has left and sailed over the sea to Skye, and asks if she could be the one the song is about. The reference to the "lass" is believed to be a metaphor for Bonnie Prince Charlie, who was often referred to as "The Young Pretender" and who disguised himself as a woman to escape after the Battle of Culloden. The verse sets up the story of the prince's escape and sets the tone for the rest of the song.
Wow! Thank you. Wish the creator would pin this at the top! ❤️💜💚

THANKYou
I appreciate it a lot. I can understand more of the meaning of this song. I hadn’t known any of Scottish Background before. But when I started to watch the Outlander on Netflix. My heart was broken when I knew about story of the battle of Culloden. I do still feel sorry fot them until now.
Thank you so much
I hope scotland stays scottish.. and preserve their culture and native music
Only with the preservation of the music.
My mother sang this to me when I was a child. Now 70 years later that same lady who I love so dearly is very very ill and approaching her final days. I’ll remind my mum how much I love her by playing this at here funeral some day....love you so much Mum.
Wish you all the strength you need going through the tough journey. Hugs
That's lovely but play it for her before she passes.
Sing it to her now.
You are so right Scotland is so magical and beautiful. I was blessed at the age of 19 that I got to go over there to Aberdeen Scotland and I was Nanny to my aunt's three kids. I'm 60 now. I will never forget the beauty I love all the castles. We visit london. And Paris my ancestors are actually from Europe. We have more
May the seas be calm my friend.
I haven't heard this song for 51 years, and it's made a tear run down my cheek 😢
My Nan used to sing this to me whilst I sat on her knee.
She sadly passed away when i was 16. I'm 56 now and a grandad to four amazing little people.
Take care, and thank you for bringing back such lovely memories to me.
Ian 🙏
Every Scotsman should have a tear in their eye and a fire of soul reborn when they hear this song !!! We will return to our glory !!
Absolutely agree 💕
💯👏💖
I sure do right now. More than just one.
Certainly not on the football pitch!
His eye
In honor of the three hundred men from Clan MacIntosh who fought for bonnie Prince Charlie at Culloden. I am descended from Sept Glen of Clan MacIntosh on my maternal great grandfather's side of the family. And never shall I forget!!!
The moment when you notice, the cinematographer and producer is named Benjamin Fraser McKenzie...
I did remember of Outlander rsrsrs James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser
The moment you realise that Ella Roberts is Australian and not Scottish.
Oh my god really?

Brilliant cinematography. Benjamin Fraser McKenzie? Wasn't he turning into a tree or a flower in some of his videos a couple years past? And now he's turned into an extraordinarily gifted cinematographer/choreographer? I must say, I prefer his latest metamorphosis. A talent like his would be a waste turned into forest foliage. (LOL)
My great, great grandfather was a Irish Jacobite who fought for the Bonnie Prince over the water.
Michael Hanlon the irish had a huge involvement in that rising its not nearly recognised enough
How OLD are you???
Willow Broaddus Ha ha... right!?! Nice catch ☺️
My great great (many greats) grandfather came over a little before the revolution.
My great-great grandfather fought for Canada in the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders regiment during WW1. Not sure how old you are if your great-great grandfather lived 200 years earlier.
My spirit and my heart belong to Scotland, beautiful song!
I’m an American of Scottish descent. This song makes me think of my ancestors roaming through the Highlands.🏴🇺🇸
My father is a Scottish Native, came to Australia at 17, hailing from Perthshire. Thank you Ella for the lovely music ❤️
well i'm a true scots through and through and i love that song
Big fan of Outlander, but this takes the song to a new level. Needless to say this most beautiful woman and voice influenced that. The red hair and green eyes are just stunning. Wow!
This is the ORIGINAL song. The Outlander Composer ripped it off and rewrote it to fit the storyline
@@rosierennie5867 While you're not wrong about this being the original, the composer for Outlander didn't even rewrite the lyrics himself. He stole a second set of lyrics that were written by a poet named Robert Louis Stevenson decades after the original version. All the composer did was change the "lad" to "lass" and omit a verse that was difficult to modernize.
@@rosierennie5867 why so hostile ? The show didn’t do anything wrong
@@elanorthefair1091 that's really cool and I didn't actual know that even though I am a Skye man myself! I wonder why RLS changed it? Possibly the changed attitude to the Jacobite campaign or maybe he just liked the tube and wanted a less political song to put with it??
AND... Ella is just as beautiful in this life, I was honoured to speak with her at the Celtic Festival in Glen Innes just last weekend.
493 dislikes, really? This woman has a beautiful voice and sings with heart. What's not to like?!
Annabel Lee probably bots
If not bots, probably outlander fans expecting the wrong lyrics
stupid people just being hateful...pay them no mind.
They're English...
@@danielserene4532 😂
I am 43 percent Scottish!! So wonderful to visit Scotland!!
Beautiful, poignant, rich with feeling, healing, and hope. Love this song. I play it for my seniors sometimes.
I'm not Scottish, just from Britain in France and I love this celtic song so much because it's so beautiful
Brittany not Britain!
Dunvegan!!!! I'm proud of my auld and true Scots heritage. There's Irish and Italian in there too but I was born and bred in my bonny home🏴🏴🏴🏴I couldn't love it more 💙💙💙💙
Love this version. She has such a beautiful voice. My 4x Great-grandfather was an officer in the Glengarry regiment along with his brother . He survived Culloden and then fled to Canada.
OMG he survived, how amazing! I have a feeling, a deep feeling of grief, that a few of my ancestors died . . .
I named my daughter Skye didn't know it was Scottish and she found out later her heritage on her dads side was Scottish. Must of been fate.
Elizabeth, How Beautiful, and Amazing, Skye as a name, and a Place is very Beautiful, only visited once, Never forgot!
My middle names Skye from the isle of Skye!! Used to hate my red hair and now I’m a bit obsessed
I named my 2nd son Thomas James and my 3rd son James Patrick. Then found out I have scottish heritage on both sides. Also my 3rd son was born on St. Patrick's day and we never planned his name based on that either.
scotland calls to its own! im am half scot half irish lol so im pure psychopath yet when i see pictures of scotland i feel erily at peace.
Must *have
I'm Puerto Rican with Scottish ancestry which is real apparent when one sees my mom's blue eyes and red hair. I loved connecting to this part of me in this song. Beautiful song.
I love this one, and this version has inspired me to start writing more traditional Scottish love songs myself. As a songwriter in the North of Scotland, this is my kind of scenery!
Go on yerself Robin...
Yes Robin, do what you have to do… 🎼🎹🎻 Many greetings from Germany 🌸
Hi Robin, i would love to hear the songs you have written, My gran was a McGregor DNA test states I am 39% Scottish.
I'd love to hear your songs too Robin MsGregor :) x An ancient Scot from the UK :) Iona
How does one write a traditional song?
I wish I could go to Scotland and never leave. My family is from isle of skye, and Aberdeenshire. I'm in America now. They came hére in the 1600s. I feel á deep connection to Scotland and Norway and Iceland. All places my family is from.
I live in California. I loved the Isle of Skye when I visited many years ago. You are blessed and I can relate to your wish to return.
@@M209T Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. My dream is to return and never leave again.
So very proud of my Scottish heritage ❤️
I'm not Scottish but this song brings tears to my eyes. The history behind it is incredible and you sing it so well!
Maybe one day Scotland will be Free!
love this song, my few greats grandfather was a Stewart of Athol at the battle of Culloden.
I also descend from Clan Stewart of Atholl.
My MacPhersons died at Culloden and also hid Bonnie Prince In the isle of Skye until the French came to rescue him. My Clan Chief lost all his Estates and hid in Skye caves for 9 years - according ago Robert lewis Stevenson
I am also a descendant from the Stewart clan and it no coincidence this song found it's way to me.
What's cool is that the production and cinematography is by one Fraser McKenzie 😂
I'm 31 weeks pregnant and my baby moves and kicks like crazy when I play this song! He is part Scottish! .. hehe
Now my baby boy is 4 months old and he's in my arms falling asleep... Love my life.
@@nikalik beautiful.
@@atorian8850 thanks!
Happy for you listen try visiting a forest when you kid is born . When my grandfather was alive forest for me where the best. Maybe he or she might like the outdoors do You like the idea
I always love the wind in the trees its just like music
This is the first time I've heard this melody outside of watching Outlander! That is really awesome, Fraser McKenzie. Outlander is an awesome show.
This song rings deep with my family.
My wife and I would play this for our son while he was still in utero. He would kick and move when he heard it. He is now 7 weeks old and this still will calm him down and usually make him sleep. We love this rendition. Thank you!
thank you for sharing
I’m a Scottish Wallace, and this song means the world to me for so many reasons
Such a beautiful soft voice yet hits with the pride of the highlands. I love the songs of my people. Thank you Ella Roberts for bringing a sensational take on this historic melody
Ella is beautiful.
Some say you will return to glory - have you ever not been glorious Scotland! This song is beautiful and music has the ability to remind people about history and it's injustice, in a peaceful and meaningful way: Thankyou.
My beloved Grandmother used to sing this song to me when I was little
Miss her so much i love you so much grandma you were like a mother to me the tears flow like a river thinking about you
3:23 Flora Macdonald is famous for helping Bonnie Prince Charlie escape from Scotland after the defeat of the Jacobites at the Battle of Culloden in 1746.........what a stunning performance by red haired Ella.....best version of this song you will ever hear!
Proud to be from Clan MacDonald
I read this story when I was twelve years aged, in the early 70's. Flora disguised the prince like a woman, and he became a supposed maidservant named 'Betty Burke'. In the same book it was told Catherine Douglas 'Kate Barlass' and her amazing gest. Does exist any song about this another scottish heroine?
My family on my mother's side is from Clan MacDonald. Never been prouder of it then when hearing this song.
I have CHILLS.... you really bring Scotland to life in your voice and videos... I am not crying
Walking long distance in Belgium, many years ago, I passed two men in kilts, walking with silent bagpipes, and asked, during the passing, if they wouldn't play "The Skye Boat Song"? I couldn't imagine that with those, they didn't know this tune!
It took a little time walking on, before I heard the bags being blown to function, and then the start of this immortal and beautiful song! Finn. Denmark
This song contains the power that can make you wish to spend the rest of your life in Scotland. And that's my family's wish.
Is it possible to be homesick for a home you've only seen in photographs? My family is from Ayre, but I feel the call of home every time I hear the pipes.
FROM AYR ,,,,,
Stunning voice! Love Celtic music
Beautiful-Ella Roberts.
Ella Roberts has such a pretty voice. Every time I hear her sing it makes my day better
You have a beautiful Celtic voice. Please do more song like this, its wonderful!
I agree
I think her Celtic voice is a gift l… 🧚♂️
Salutations my Celtic sister from Australia! Beautiful song! My daughter bears the name of the Isle of Skye off the Northeast coast of Scotland. Great job keeping our Celtic culture thriving!
North West
hauntingly beautiful - and the songs very good too
This song makes me think of my late Lady because she was from the Scottish town of Blantyre. I've never been to Scotland, but I adore it from pictures and movies and the way she was talking about her country. Beautiful song and music.
The song is actually from history. We had to learn to play it when we were 9 years old on the recorder.
After the English (and vichy Scots) defeated the Jacobites on Culloden Field - Flora MacDonald hasted Bonnie Prince Charlie away. She dressed him up to look like her maid and got in the boat leaving Scotland. It was dangerous for the prince to remain in Scotland and had to flee because the invaders wanted to murder him.
It is a sad time in our history.

God... I love this song, I love your cover, and most of all, I love Scotland.
The Skye Boat Song
(Chorus)
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 wind howls, 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 lain
Dead on Culloden field
Chorus
Though the waves heave, soft will ye sleep
Ocean's a royal bed
Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep
Watch by your weary head
Chorus
Burned are our homes, exile and death
Scatter the loyal men
Yet e'er the sword cool in the sheath
Charlie will come again.
Chorus
My daughter and I listen to this every bedtime! It's absolutely beautiful ❤
Christ this is so breathtakingly beautiful. I have a wee bit of Scottish blood in my veins (Great great grandmother was full Scots) but I'm a born and bred New Zealander. Still - that little bit of connection is a proud one.
Beautiful wild country with a rich history, built on the back of it's Highland warriors.
You Scots will always hold a special place in my heart.
I played this song for my bridesmaids to walk down the aisle to! 😍🥰
She looks like a princess from the middle ages. A beautiful unique voice
This music and outlander song makes me love and appreciate my scottish heritage more.
Im from Sweden, but prefer this.
This touches your soul.
Her Majesty's final requested song to be played a her funeral.😪
RIP HRH QUEEN ELIZABETH II
Really
I am putting my new puppy to sleep. She is sick at the moment and has been for a while. I hope she is okay. This song is very calming and she falls straight asleep while listening. Through my childhood I have heard this song. I was born in Edinburgh and lived in a small town in Fife. Thank you for this amazing cover. Its so calming but the verses are so powerful!
how is your dog?
♥️
I hope your puppy is OK?
Gosh I’m 70 now & remember singing this during a music lesson - didn’t know know my heritage then - both Scottish & Irish
Ella Roberts is gorgeous and she is more talented than everyone in hollywood producing music at the moment. Nothing but raw beautiful talent. I appreciate her! Good for you Ella!
She is beautiful and entirely suits the part of Flora Macdonald. No man can avoid being entranced by her.
Some songs, even if they are beautiful, we listen to it today and we forget after a while, but other songs, like this remains engraved in our hearts all our life.
I'm Scots Irish and trace my roots to the highlands even though I'm 5th generation Texan the music touches deep into the heart.
I’m Scottish with a touch of Irish on my father’s side and Scottish on my mother’s side. I’m first generation American and second out of Scotland. My mother was born in northern England. I’m also in the south, but I’m from the southeast. SC to be precise.
My dad is from Scotland and my mum England. So proud to be half Scottish🏴this song is beautiful
such a haunting song :)
My maternal grandmother came from the McMillan clan, whose clan was recognised for their "succor" help given to Bonnie Prince Charlie during the Jacobite Rebellions, the song pulls goosebumps for me
That would be the MacMillan clan.
What a beautiful voice!!!💖💖💖
Great song and singing!
im a scottish highlander scottish parents i sang this song since childhood and i love this song
Hello Sharon, how are you doing today.
For me, as a Szekler-Hungarian, Scotland’s and Ireland’s history has always been close to my heart. I also have a deep affinity to the landscape, music, and literature of these two. Can’t remember where I heard it the first time, but this melody (the first two lines) stuck in my head so much so that I used it as a lullaby with both my kids. And now I found the whole song, incl. its story.
Some singers we listen to with our ears and rare those we listen to with our hearts, one of them is Ella Roberts. This song is a masterpiece
Played this in honour of my Cairn Terrier. He came from another room to listen. ❤❤❤
Such a beautiful song. 🙂👍
OMG how on earth could you have such a beautiful angelic voice????
I love this! This song speaks of another time, another place, how magical. So many songs touch people, like this song does, I know it does always for me. Great job as always!
Half of my DNA 🧬 is Scots. You can feel this song all the way through your heart and soul. It brings tears 😢 and strong feelings of pride because the Scots are a strong people who’ve been pushed down so many times over the centuries yet, you can never take the pride and fight out of them. It doesn’t matter whether they live in that beautiful country, or their ancestors did. Whether it’s Celtic or not, I don’t know 🤷🏼♀️ But, I know you can feel it deep inside. 🏴❤️
Yes,, and those feelings will not be denied.
I have no English blood in me, 10 years ago UK moved us across the border from Northumbria to Scotland, my father was an English Jacobite, my mother an Irish Jacobite . My 3 children are raised as Jacobites as their children will be. You can kill the body but never the spirit. The King across the sea will return. Deus Volt es!
Beautiful, the song, the voice, the country side. I think i am in love.
My mother sang this to me so many times .love from Edinburgh Scotland 🏴 i
Her voice sounds like fingers stroking on silk, so smooth.....
Although i don't like touching silk i totally agree. :-)
Beautiful
This music makes me so proud of my ancestors what they sacrificed for me, the isles of the sea that they called home, the Lord looked upon it and declared that it was good.
My gosh that's a beautiful voice for an equally beautiful woman
This is absolutely the most beautiful version I ever heard of this song, and I have heard a few over the years. As a descendant of Scots from Orkney Island, I say bravo and well done. Long live Scotia.
She sure is. We had the pleasure of her performing at our festival and Ceilidh.
Why are Scottish women so beautiful I'm married to one (: surname McStoots and my name is from Dublin Ireland which is Nugent
The Scottish people are so proud
That's why I love them all
She looks like an angel, she sings like an angel.
She is what you dream of
This song touches my heart although I`m not Scottish but German, it lets me feel our blood relationship...
Angelic voice...astounding...hauntingly beautiful...
OMG, all her videos remind me of my favourite Scottish historical romance novels.
My baby can't sleep without this music! I think because when I was pregnant I always watch and re-watch Outlander so much that he could just feel how I felt about it! Love you're voice goosebumps every time I turn it on!
I love everything about Scottish, songs, pipes and drums, landscape, their proudly attitude ❤❤❤❤❤
This was one of the songs we used to sing a long time ago when I was in grade school. It's got a beautiful melody.
Although my ancestry is mostly German, I'm sure there must be a Scotsman in the mix somewhere. The stories and the music touch my soul. I first heard this song on Outlander and had to learn more about it. This beautiful version, and the story behind the song, have hit me in the feels.
voice of an angle.
A nation once again.....freedom to Scotland
My mother used to sing and hum this as a lullaby for my brothers and I. I loved this song before I even knew what it was called. I only found out when I had my own children years later, what it was called! I used to sing it to my children and my father would quip, Oh god off to bloody Skye AGAIN!
Listen to Cor Chuil Aodha singing Gile mear it's about Bonnie Prince Charlie in Gaelic it'll knock your socks off
i just came across this videos her voice the landscape everything is simply breath taking
I’m half Scottish. I hope to one day visit. Beautiful music.
This song touches the soul of all Catholics who long for the reunion of Altar and Throne, not just of Bonnie Prince Charlie but all those venerable monarchs who built Europe.
