Hi 'Catters

I used to sing this song often but with an extra verse that I collected somewhere along the road of time. Sadly I've lost this and can't remember it. I've checked all the MANY threads on this song but I've drawn a blank on this one.

The verse I had is something like:

Bairns are sleeping in their cradle
*****
We'll keep a candle in the window,
Ere the boys return to Mingulay.

Can anyone help?
