Mingulay Boat Song CHORUS: Heel yo ho, boys. Let her go, boys. Bring her head 'round, now all together. Heel yo ho, boys. Let her go, boys. Sailing homeward to Mingulay. What care we though, how white the Minch is? What care we for wind or weather? Swing her 'round boys; every inch is, Nearing homeward to Mingulay. CHORUS 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. CHORUS Ships return now, heavy laden. Mothers holdin' bairns a-cryin'. They'll return, though, when the sun sets. They'll return to Mingulay. CHORUS
