Skye Boat Song - OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO

✨ ✨ You can download this song FOR FREE on my website: pages.priscillawenzel.com/freesong

FUN FACT: These lyrics are actually a poem of Robert Louis Stevenson, who penned them to the same tune as the original song about Bonnie Prince Charlie (the original lyrics are far more Scottish in nature). His prose was written in the male voice, but I appropriately changed it to female for my rendition.

LYRICS:
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.

Mull was astern, Rum on the port,
Eigg on the starboard bow;
Glory of youth glowed in her soul;
Where is that glory now?

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.

Give me again all that was there,
Give me the sun that shone!
Give me the eyes, give me the soul,
Give me the lass that's gone!

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.

Billow and breeze, islands and seas,
Mountains of rain and sun,
All that was good, all that was fair,
All that was me is gone.

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.
