the mingulay boat song - the mccalmans lyrics
[intro]
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
[verse 1: singer 1]
not a wave in straight and narrows
white her shoulders, cresting seafoam
out by uist, and by lewis
as the sun sets on mingulay
[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
[verse 2: singer 2]
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
[chorus]
heel ya ho, boys, let hеr go, boys
swing her head ’round, and all togethеr
heel ya ho, boys, and we’ll anchor
as the sun sets on mingulay
[verse 3: all]
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
[outro]
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
