| Lyrics: | MINGULAY BOAT SONG
Heel yo ho, boys; let her go, boys;
Bring her head round,
into the weather,
Hill you 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;
Pull 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.
From Lorrie Wyatt's Folk Legacy
Album.
Originally recorded by the McPeake Family.
