Mingulay boat song

Refrein:
Hill you ho, boys, let her go, boys;
Bring her head round, now all together.
Hill you ho, boys, let her go, boys;
Sailing homeward to Mingulay.

What care we, how wide the Minch is?
What care we, for wind and weather?
Let her go, boys every inch is
Wearing homeward to Mingulay

(Refrein:)

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

(Refrein:)

Sun comes low now by the yard, boys
Ripe the clouds are, tether westward.
Song of home fly in the wind, boys
Flying homeward to Mingulay

(Refrein:)
