| There are twa bonnie maidens, and three bonnie maidens
|
| Come owre the Minch, come owre the main
|
| With the wind for their way and the corry for their hame
|
| They are dearly welcome back to Skye once again
|
| Come along, come along wi' your boatie and your song
|
| My ain bonnie maids, my twa bonnie maids
|
| For the night it is dark, the Redcoat is gone
|
| And ye are dearly welcome back to Skye once again
|
| There is Flora, my honey, sae dear, sae bonnie
|
| And ane, that’s sae tall, sae handsome and all
|
| Put the one for my king and the other for my queen
|
| They are dearly welcome back to Skye once again
|
| Come along, come along wi' your boatie and your song
|
| My ain bonnie maids, my twa bonnie maids
|
| For the Lady Macoulain, she dwelleth all her lane
|
| And ye are dearly welcome back to Skye once again
|
| Her arm it is long and her petticoat is strong
|
| My ain bonnie maids, my twa bonnie maids
|
| The sea moullit’s nest I will watch o’er the main
|
| And ye are dearly welcome back to Skye once again
|
| Come along, come along wi' your boatie and your song
|
| My ain bonnie maids, my twa bonnie maids
|
| And saft shall ye rest where the heather grows best
|
| And ye are dearly welcome back to Skye once again
|
| There’s a wind in the tree, a ship on the sea
|
| My ain bonnie maids, my twa bonnie maids
|
| Your cradle I’ll rock on the lea of the rock
|
| And ye are dearly welcome back to Skye once again
|
| Come along, come along wi' your boatie and your song
|
| My ain bonnie maids, my twa bonnie maids
|
| Mair sound shall ye sleep as she sail o’er the deep
|
| And ye are dearly welcome back to Skye once again |
