Lyrics - The Mingulay Boat Song
Chorus:
Heel ya ho boys, let her go boys
Swing her head 'round, and all together,
Heel ya ho boys, and we'll anchor
As the sun sets on Mingulay
Not a wave in straights and narrows
White her shoulders, cresting seafoam,
Out by Uist, and by Lewis
As the sun sets on Mingulay
Wives are waiting by the harbour,
They' ve been waiting, since break of day boys,
They' ve been waiting for their loved one,
As the sun sets on Mingulay
What care we though wild the minch is,
What care we for wind or weather,
Hail ya ho boys, and we'll anchor
As the sun sets on Mingulay.
The Mingulay Boat Song
Traditional
From album - 'Scottish Songs' (Ross Records CWGR 092)
