You all keep typing that you remember it from the distant past. Didn't any of you sing it to your own kids? Ours were certainly lulled with it hardly a dozen or so years ago.

Snuffy's version was the one we used to use, lyricwise anyway (sorry, Snuffy, I'm not musically ept enough to decipher the tab. Every confidence that you're spot on tho').

I drifted off to my mum singing "The Skye Boat Song" in my early years. Altogether now "Speed bonny boat, like a bird on the wing, over the sea to Skye".

What a beautiful tune.

Thanks for the thread, tig'. Made me go all misty and nostaligic.
