Mingulay Boat Song

Sir Hugh Roberton

[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
