| Heel ya ho, boys, let her go, boys
|
| Heave her head round to the weather
|
| Heel ya ho, boys, let her go, boys
|
| Sailing homeward to Mingulay
|
| What care we though white the Minch is
|
| What care we boys the wind and weather
|
| When we know that, every inch is
|
| Closer homeward to Mingulay
|
| Heel ya ho, boys, let her go, boys
|
| Heave her head round to the weather
|
| Heel ya ho, boys, let her go, boys
|
| Sailing homeward to Mingulay
|
| Wives are waiting by the pierhead
|
| Gazing seaward from the heather
|
| Heave ahead round and we’ll anchor
|
| Ere the sun sets on Mingulay
|
| Heel ya ho, boys, let her go, boys
|
| Heave her head round to the weather
|
| Heel ya ho, boys, let her go, boys
|
| Sailing homeward to Mingulay
|
| Sailing homeward to Mingulay |
