BDenz Origins: Who's playing this Mingulay Boat Song? (23) RE: Origins: Who's playing this Mingulay Boat Song? 04 May 21


Mingulay Boat Song -- that pesky last verse.

I have no idea where I heard/found the last verse we use, but I'd bet that I messed with it so that it carries the "picture" of the song to a logical end. Not that it's anything more than folk music evolving

[verse before ends with "e'er the sun sets on Mingulay"

Sun rides low, now, o'er the bowsprit
Clouds are flying; pushing us westward
Songs of home fly on the wind, boys,
Sailing homeward to Mingulay
