Welcome to GG Spiraling Tours

 


At end of a day's driving she relaxes by writing the story of the day's adventures. 

Some adventures are minor, like the frog in the loo with a gecko jockey reaching up to plant a high five on your naked butt. 

Others potentially could have been disastrous

     These pages are a mix of both mine and other people's stories or adventures.

Enjoy and let me know what you think!

SKYE BOAT SONG

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evMruRh-Hxk
Skye Boat Song
(MacLeod / Harold Boulton)
Chorus:
Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Onward, the sailors cry
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye

Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar
Thunderclaps rend the air
Baffled, our foes stand on the shore
Follow they will not dare

Though the waves leap soft shall you sleep
The ocean's a royal bed
Rocked on the deep Flora will keep
Watch by your weary head

Many's the lad fought on that day
Well the claymore could wield
When the night came, silently lay
Dead on Culloden's field

Burnt are our homes, exile and death
Scatter the loyal men
Yet ere the sword is cool in its sheath
Charlie will come again

(as sung by The Spinners)

Sing me a song of a lad that is gone
Say, could that lad be l
Merry of soul, he sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye

Mull was astern, Rhum to the port
Eigg on the starboard bow
Glory of youth glowed in his soul
Where is that glory now

Speed bonny boat, like a bird on a wing
Onward, the sailors cry 
Carry the lad that's born to be King
Over the sea to Skye

(as sung by The McCalmans - first two verses by Robert Louis Stevenson)
