Mingulay Boat Song

Heel ya ho boys Let her go boys
Swing her head round, into the weather
Heel ya ho boys Let her go boys
Sailing homeward to Mingulay

What do care we how white the Minch is
What care we for wind or weather
Swing her head round Every inch is
Nearer homeward to Mingulay

Chorus

Wives are waiting, by the harbour
They've been waiting since break of day
Bring her head round and we'll anchor
As the sun sets oe'r Mingulay

Chorus

When the wind is wild and shouting
And the waves mount ever higher
Anxious eyes turn ever seaward
To see us home boys to Mingulay

Chorus
