There were twa bonnie maidens, and three bonnie maidens, 
Cam' ower the Minch, and cam' ower the main, 
Wi' the wind for their way and the corrie for their hame, 
And they're dearly [bad word] tae Skye again. 
 [bad word] alang [bad word] alang, wi' your boatie and your song, 
Tae my hey! bonnie maidens, my twa bonnie maids! 
The nicht, it is dark, and the redcoat is gane, 
And you're dearly [bad word] tae Skye again. 

There is Flora, my honey, sae neat and sae bonnie, 
And ane that is tall, and handsome withall. 
Put the ane for my Queen and the ither for my King 
And they're dearly [bad word] tae Skye again. 

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