Mingulay Boat Song

Heel y'ho boys, let her go boys
heave her head round into the weather
Heel y'ho boys, let her go boys
Sailing homeward to Mingulay!

What care we how white the Minch is
what care we, boys for windy weather?
When we know that every inch is
Sailing homeward to Mingulay!

Heel y'ho boys, let her go boys
heave her head round into the weather
Heel y'ho boys, let her go boys
Sailing homeward to Mingulay!

Wives are waiting, on the bank now,
All looking seaward from the heather.
Heave her round boys, and we'll anchor
'Ere the sun sets on Mingulay!

Heel y'ho boys, let her go boys
heave her head round into the weather
Heave her round boys, and we'll anchor
'Ere the sun sets on Mingulay!
'Ere the sun sets on Mingulay!
'Ere the sun sets on Mingulay!
