Mingulay Boat Song

[Chorus] Heave her ho, boys Let her go, boys Swing her head round into the weather Heave her ho, boys Let her go, boys Sailin' homeward to Mingulay [Verse 1] What care we though White the Minch is What care we boys for windy weather When we know that every inch is sailin' homeward to Mingulay [Chorus] Heave her ho, boys Let her go, boys Swing her head round into the weather Heave her ho, boys Let her go, boys Sailin' homeward to Mingulay [Verse 2] Wives are waiting by the pier-head Gazing seaward from the heather Bring around, boys Then we'll anchor, ere the sun sets on Mingulay [Chorus] Heave her ho, boys Let her go, boys Swing her head round into the weather Heave her ho, boys Let her go, boys Sailin' homeward to Mingulay [Verse 3] Ships return now, heavy-laden Mother's holdin', babes are cryin' They'll return yet, when the sun sets Sailin' homeward to Mingulay [Chorus] Heave her ho, boys Let her go, boys Swing her head round into the weather Heave her ho, boys Let her go, boys Sailin' homeward to Mingulay Heave her ho, boys Let her go, boys Swing her head round into the weather Heave her ho, boys Let her go, boys Sailin' homeward to Mingulay
