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
