Outlander Theme Song Lyrics

The Skye Boat Song

(Originally a Scottish folk song altered by Bear McCreary for the show)

Sing me a song of a lass that is gone,
Saycould that lass be I?
Merry of soul she sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye.

Billow and breezeislands and seas,
Mountains of rain and sun,
All that was goodall that was fair,
All that was me is gone.

Sing me a song of a lass that is gone,
Saycould that lass be I?
Merry of soul she sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye

---

Unaltered version by Robert Louis Stevenson:

[Chorus]
Sing me a song of a lad that is gone,
Saycould that lad be I?
Merry of soul he sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye.

Mull was asternRum on the port,
Eigg on the starboard bow,
Glory of youth glowed in his soul,
Where is that glory now?

[Chorus]

Give me again all that was there,
Give me the sun that shone!
Give me the eyesgive me the soul,
Give me the lad that's gone!

[Chorus]

Billow and breezeislands and seas,
Mountains of rain and sun,
All that was goodall that was fair,
All that was me is gone.
