Carry us o’er the bridge that is free
Over the sea to Skye.
1 No tolls no more, to cross shore to shore
SKAT has had to disband
Robbie the Pict is not part of folklore As payment’s no more on demand.
CHORUS
2 Bonnie PC and Flora McD
Were never asked to pay money.
They just stayed afloat, rowing their wee boat To charge them would not have been funny.
CHORUS
3 The brave heilin’ coos, some with metal shoes
From Kyleakin to Glenelg would swim
A toll would ensure some distressful moos With expressions both baleful and grim.
CHORUS
4 To Raasay we’ll go o’er tides high and low
The island of Sorley McLean
Where with heavy load, Calum built his wee road With nae help and awfu terrain.
