Chorus:
Heel yo ho boys, let her go boys,
Bring her head round and all together,
Heel yo ho boys, let her go boys,
Sailing homeward to Mingulay.
What care we though white the Minch is?
What care we for wind or weather?
When we know that every inch is,
Sailing homeward to Mingulay.
Chorus
When the wind is wild with shouting,
And the waves mount ever higher,
Anxious eyes turn ever seaward,
To see us home safe to Mingulay.
Chorus
Ships return now heavy laden,
Sweethearts holding bairns a-crying,
They return now as the sun sets,
They return home to Mingulay.
Chorus
Wives are waiting by the harbour,
They'v been waiting since break of day,
Heave her ’round boys and we’ll anchor,
Ere the sun sets on Mingulay.
Chorus:
Heel yo ho boys, let her go boys,
Bring her head round and all together,
Heel yo ho boys, let her go boys,
Sailing homeward to Mingulay.
