The Skye Boat Song (Extended Version) lyrics

Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
Say, could that lass be I?
Merry of soul she sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye
 
Mull was astern, Rùm on the port
Eigg on the starboard bow
Glory of youth glowed in her soul
Where is that glory now?
 
Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
Say, could that lass be I?
Merry of soul she sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye
 
Give me again all that was there
Give me the sun that shone
Give me the eyes, give me the soul
Give me the lass that's gone
 
Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
Say, could that lass be I?
Merry of soul she sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye
 
Billow and breeze, islands and seas
Mountains of rain and sun
All that was good, all that was fair
All that was me is gone
 
Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
Say, could that lass be I?
Merry of soul she sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye

Thanks very much for this.

It's interesting to see the version that has a lass instead of a lad - I'd never heard it sung until you posted this video.

Skye Boat song's tune is a principal theme in Outlander tv series sung by Raya Yarbrough and arranged by Bear McCreary, a rewrite of Robert Louis Stevenson’s poem,  referencing how Claire Randall travels 200 years back in time. "Skye boat song" written by Sir Harold Boulton in 1884 on a scottish traditional melody which is said to have been arranged by Anne Campbell MacLeod. In 1896 Robert Louis Stevenson wrote "Over the sea to Skye" (aka Sing Me a Song of a Lad That Is Gone) a new version of Sir Harold Boulton's Skye Boat song, because he wasn't satisfied with what it was written by an English baronet.
