Mingulay Boat Song
We are workers at the hawser We are workers since break of day We are workers at the hawser As the sun sets on Mingulay
Heel y'ho boys, let her go, boys Bring her head round into the weather Heel y'ho boys, let her go boys Sailing homeward to Mingulay
What care we though white the Minch is What care we for wind and weather? Let her go boys, every inch is Sailing homeward to Mingulay
Heel y'ho boys, let her go, boys Bring her head round into the weather Heel y'ho boys, let her go boys Sailing homeward to Mingulay
Wives are waiting by the pier head Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com or looking seaward from the heather. Pull her 'round boys, and we'll anchor ere the sun sets on Mingulay
Heel y'ho boys, let her go, boys Bring her head round into the weather Heel y'ho boys, let her go boys Sailing homeward to Mingulay
Ships return now, heavy laden Mothers holdin their bairns a-cryin They'll return though, when the sun sets They'll return back to Mingulay
Heel y'ho boys, let her go, boys Bring her head round into the weather Heel y'ho boys, let her go boys Sailing homeward to Mingulay
