Mingulay Boat Song |
| Heave her ho, boys |
| Let her go, boys |
| Swing her head round into the weather |
| Heave her ho, boys |
| Let her go, boys |
| Sailin' homeward to Mingulay |
| What care we though |
| White the Minch is |
| What care we boys for windy weather |
| When we know that every inches sailin' homeward to Mingulay |
| Heave her ho, boys |
| Let her go, boys |
| Swing her head round into the weather |
| Heave her ho, boys |
| Let her go, boys |
| Sailin' homeward to Mingulay |
| Wives are waiting by the pier-head |
| Gazing seaward from the heather |
| Bring around, boys |
| Then we’ll anchor, err the sunsets on Mingulay |
| Heave her ho, boys |
| Let her go, boys |
| Swing her head round into the weather |
| Heave her ho, boys |
| Let her go, boys |
| Sailin' homeward to Mingulay |
| Ships return now, heavy-laden |
| Mother’s holdin', babes are cryin' |
| They’ll return yet, when the sun sets |
| Sailin' homeward to Mingulay |
| Heave her ho, boys |
| Let her go, boys |
| Swing her head round into the weather |
| Heave her ho, boys |
| Let her go, boys |
| Sailin' homeward to Mingulay |
| Heave her ho, boys |
| Let her go, boys |
| Swing her head round into the weather |
| Heave her ho, boys |
| Let her go, boys |
| Sailin' homeward to Mingulay |
