Mingulay Boat Song Lyrics - Singles - Clancy Brothers

Heel yo ho, boys; let her go, boys; 

Bring her head round, into the weather, 

Heave her ho, boys,let her go, boys 

Sailing homeward to Mingulay 

What care we though, white the Minch is? 

What care we for wind or weather? 

Let her go boys; every inch is 

Sailing homeward to Mingulay. 

Wives are waiting, by the pier head, 

Or looking seaward, from the heather; 

Heave her round, boys, then you'll anchor 

'Ere the sun sets on Mingulay. 

Ships return now, heavy laden 

Mothers holdin' bairns a-cryin' 

They'll return, though, when the sun sets 

They'll return to Mingulay.
