Mingulay Boat Song

What care we though white the Minch is
What care we for wind or weather
Let her go, boys! Every inch is
Weaving home, home to Mingulay
 
 Heel yer ho, boys, let her go, boys
 Bring her head round, now all together
 Heel yer ho, boys, let her go, boys
 Sailing home, home to Mingulay
 
Wives are waiting on the bank, or
Looking seaward from the heather
Pull her round, boys! And we’ll anchor
Ere the sun set at Mingulay
