Mingulay Boat Song

 
     Hill you ho boys, let her go boys,
     Bring her head round, now all together,
     Hill you ho boys, let her go boys,
     Sailing home, home to Mingulay.

What care we tho' white the Minch is?
What care we, for wind and weather,
Let her go boys, ev'ry inch is,
Wearing home, home to Mingulay.

     Chorus.

Wives are waiting on the bank,
Or looking seaward from the heather.
Pull her round boys, and we'll anchor,
Ere the sun sets at Mingulay.

     Chorus.
