Bonnie Boat Songtext
Bonnie Boat

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 sky.

Loud the winds blow, 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 sky.

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 sky.

Burned are our homes, exile and death,
scattered the loyal men.
Yet ere th esword's cool in the sheath
Charlie will come again!

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 sky.
