Here's a YouTube recording of the Outlander theme:
Note the lyrics transcription:
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, would that lass be I?
Merry of soul, she sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye.
The Wikipedia article refers to a Robert Louis Stevenson poem, often sung to the same melody.
I found the entire text of the Stevenson poem at http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/175219
SING ME A SONG OF A LAD THAT IS GONE
(Robert Louis Stevenson 1850-1894)
Sing me a song of a lad that is gone, Say, could that lad be I? Merry of soul he sailed on a day Over the sea to Skye.
Mull was astern, Rum on the port, Eigg on the starboard bow; Glory of youth glowed in his soul; Where is that glory now?
Sing me a song of a lad that is gone, Say, could that lad be I? Merry of soul he 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 lad that's gone!
Sing me a song of a lad that is gone, Say, could that lad be I? Merry of soul he 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.
