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.

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.
