TraditionalHarold Boulton1. Skye Boat Song

ChorusSpeed, 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.

1.Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar,Thunder claps rend the air;Baffled our foes Stand on the shore,Follow they will not dare.

Chorus

2.Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep,Ocean's a royal bed.Rocked in the deep, Flora will keepWatch by your weary head.

Chorus

3.Many's the lad fought on that day,Well the Claymore could wield,When the night came, silently layDead in Culloden's field.

Chorus

4.Burned are their homes, exile and deathScatter the loyal men;Yet ere the sword cool in the sheathCharlie will come again.

2. The Rose of Aranmore

1.My thoughts today, though I'm far away,Dwell on Tyrconnell's shore,The salt sea air and the colleens fair,Of lovely green Gweedore.There's a flower there, beyond compare,That I'll treasure evermore,It's that grand colleen, in her gown of green,The Rose of Aranmore.

2.I've travelled far 'neath the northern star,Since the day I said goodbye,And seen many maids in the golden gladesBeneath a tropic sky,There's a vision in my reverie,I always will adore,It's that grand colleen in her gown of green,The Rose of Aranmore.

3.But soon I will return againTo the scenes I loved so well,Where many an Irish lad and lassTheir tales of love do tell.The silv'ry dunes and blue lagoons,Along the Ross's shore,And that grand colleen in her gown of green,The Rose of Aranmore.

1.Farewell to you, my own true love,I am going far away,I am bound for California,But I know that I'll return some day.

ChorusSo it's fare thee well, my own true love,When I return united we will be,It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me,But my darling when I think of thee.

2.I have signed upon a Yankee sailing ship,Davy Crockett is her name,And Burgess is the master of her,And they say that she's a floating shame.

Chorus

3.Oh the Sun is shining on the harbour love,And I wish I could remain,For I know it will be a long, long time,Before I see you again.

1.Should auld acquaintance be forgot,And never brought to mind?Should auld acquaintance be forgot,And auld lang syne?

ChorusFor auld lang syne, my jo,For auld lang syne,We'll tak a cup of kindness yet,For auld lang syne. 2.And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp!And surely I'll be mine!And we'll tak a cup of kindness yet, For auld lang syne.

Chorus

3.We twa have run about the braes,And pu'd the gowans fine;But we've wander'd mony a weary foot,Sin auld lang syne.

Chorus 4.We twa hae paidl'd i' the burn,Frae morning sun till dine;But seas between us braid hae roar'dSin auld lang syne.

Chorus 5.And there's a hand, my trusty fiere!And gie's a hand o' thine!And we'll tak a right gude-willy waught,For auld lang syne.
