The Isle Of Skye - The Corries

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
