Here is an old version I used to do. I haven't had time to vet it, but it is close.

Mingulay Boat Song

Chorus:
^AHeel ya ^Dho, boys, Let her ^Bmgo, ^Dboys
^BmKeep her ^A7head 'round into the ^Gweather:^A7
Heel ya ^Dho, boys, let her ^Bmgo, ^Dboys
^BmSailing ^A7homeward to Mingu^Glay<sup>D


A</sup>What care ^Dwe how, wild the ^GMinch ^Dis, what care ^A7we for the wind or ^Gweather, ^A7
Bring her ^D'round boys, ^Bmevery ^Dinch is nearer ^Ghome ^A7ward to Mingu^Glay^D

Chorus:

Far behind us the peaks of Cuillin, Soon we'll see our own hills of heather;
And you know boys, candles glow, boys, Lighting the windows of Mingulay

Chorus:

The wives are waiting, by the pierhead, looking seaward from the heather,
Bring her in, boys, and we'll anchor, ere the sun sets on Mingulay

Chorus:

When the wind is wild with howling, and the waves climb ever higher;
Anxious eyes are turning seaward, to see us home, lads, to Mingulay.

Chorus a cappella,
Chorus to end.

I have an unrequited passion to encourage posting at Mudcat of the score/ABCs/MIDIs for vocal harmonies for songs like this. I actually have this one in production, but I need to seek some advice from Joe Offer as to the best place to post. I'd prefer to see them clumped together somewhere so that users could find harmonies for folf 'stsndards' in one place. I've notated a reasonable number over the years but suspect that they've been buried.

Regards, John

Hi, John. We have more flexibility with the Mudcat MIDI section than we once had. I can work with you and set things up in a number of ways. I don't know that we need a separate section for them - we can mix them with the others, index them to the lyrics they belong with, and also index them in a "Harmony" thread.

I do a little bit different version... more modal. I retune to EADEAE for it.
