Mingulay Boat Song Lyrics
Heel yo ho, boys; let her go, boys;
Bring her head round, into the weather
Heel you ho, boys, let her go, boys
Sailing homeward to Mingulay
What care we though, white the Minch is?
What care we for wind or weather?
Let her go boys; every inch is
Sailing homeward to Mingulay
Wives are waiting, by the pier head
Or looking seaward, from the heather;
Pull her round, boys, then you'll anchor
'Ere the sun sets on Mingulay
Ships return now, heavy laden
Mothers holdin' bairns a-cryin'
They'll return, though, when the sun sets
They'll return to Mingulay
Bring her head round, into the weather
Heel you ho, boys, let her go, boys
Sailing homeward to Mingulay
What care we for wind or weather?
Let her go boys; every inch is
Sailing homeward to Mingulay
Or looking seaward, from the heather;
Pull her round, boys, then you'll anchor
'Ere the sun sets on Mingulay
Mothers holdin' bairns a-cryin'
They'll return, though, when the sun sets
They'll return to Mingulay
