Mingulay Boat Song

Lyrics

[Chorus] Heel ya ho, boys, let her go, boys Heave her head round into the weather Heel ya ho, boys, let her go, boys Sailing homeward to Mingulay [Verse 1] What care we how white the Minch is? What care we boys the windy weather? When we know that every inch is Closer homeward to Mingulay [Chorus] Heel ya ho, boys, let her go, boys Heave her head round into the weather Heel ya ho, boys, let her go, boys Sailing homeward to Mingulay [Verse 2] Wives are waiting on the pier head Gazing seaward from the heather Heave ahead round and we'll anchor Ere the sun sets on Mingulay [Chorus] Heel ya ho, boys, let her go, boys Heave her head round into the weather Heel ya ho, boys, let her go, boys Sailing homeward to Mingulay Sailing homeward to Mingulay
