SKYE BOAT SONG LIEDTEKST
Sing me a song of a lad that is gone
Say, could that lad be I?
Merry of soul he sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye
Mull was astem, Rum on the port,
Eigg on the starboard bow
Glory of youth shone in his soul
Where is that glory now?
Sing me a song of the lad that is gone,
Say, could that lad be I?
Merry of soul he 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 lad that’s gone.
Sing me a song of the lad that is gone,
Say, could that lad be I?
Merry of soul he 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 has gone.
