W:Come along, come along, wi' your boatie and your song, W:My ain bonnie maidens, my twa bonnie maidens, W:For the night it is dark and the red coat is gone W:And ye are dearly welcome to Skye once again. W:. W:There is Flora my honey, sae dear and sae bonnie, W:And ane that's sae tall, and sae handsome withal; W:Put the one for my king, and the other for my queen, W:And they are dearly welcome to Skye once again. W:Come along, come along, wi' your boatie and your song, W:My ain bonnie maidens, my twa bonnie maidens, W:For the Lady Macoulain she dwelleth her lane W:And she'll welcome you dearly to Skye once again. W:. W:There's a wind on the tree, and a ship on the sea, W:My ain bonnie maidens my twa bonnie maidens, W:Your cradle I'll rock on the lea of the rock, W:And ye'll aye be welcome to Skye once again. W:Come along, come along, wi' your boatie and your song, W:My ain bonnie. maidens, my twa bonnie maidens, W:Mair sound shall ye sleep as ye rock on the deep, W:And ye'll aye be welcome to Skye once again.
