The Wellermen - Mingulay Boat Song Lyrics

Lyrics Mingulay Boat Song - The Wellermen



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
What care we though
White the Minch is
What care we, boys for windy weather
When we know that
Every inch is
Closer 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
Wives are waiting
By the pierhead
Gazing seawards from the heather
Bring her 'round, boys
Then we'll anchor
E'er the sun sets on 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
Ships return now
Heavy-laden
Mothers holdin'
Bairns a-cryin'
They'll return yet
When the sun sets
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
Sailin' homeward to Mingulay
Sailin' homeward to Mingulay
