Mingulay
Boat Song
Chorus:
Heilleagh ho boys, let her go boys
Swing her head 'round and all together
Heilleagh ho boys, let her go boys
Sailin' homeward to Mingulay
What care we though white the Minch is
What care we for wind or weather
Swing her 'round boys every inch is
Sailin nearer to Mingulay
When the wind is wild with shouting
And the waves mount ever higher
Anxious eyes turn ever seaward
To see us home boys to Mingulay
Wives are waiting by the quayside
They'll be waiting at close of day o
Swing her 'round boys and we'll anchor
'Ere the sun sets on Mingulay
