A traditional Scottish folk song, made famous by Bear McCreary who adapted it to use as the theme for the Outlander television series.
lyrics
Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
Say could that lass be I?
Merry of Soul we sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye
Mull was astern, Rum on the port
Eigg on the starboard bow
Glory of song, glowed in my 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 we 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 love that’s gone.
Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
Say could that lass be I?
Merry of Soul we 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 we sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye
Over the sea to Skye
