W: W: Chorus: Come alang, come alang, wi' your boatie and your song, W: Tae my hey! bonnie maidens, my twa bonnie maids! W: The nicht, it is dark, and the redcoat is gane, W: And you're dearly welcome tae Skye again. W: W: 2.

W: W: 3. There's a wind on the tree, and a ship on the sea, W: Tae my hey! bonnie maidens, my twa bonnie maids! W: By the sea mullet's nest I will watch o'er the main, W: And you're dearly welcome tae Skye again.
