MINGULAY BOAT SONG

Hill you ho, boys; let her go, boys;
Bring her head round, now all together;
Hill you ho boys; let her go boys;
Sailing home, home to Mingulay.

1. What care we though wide the Minch is ?
What care we though wild the weather?
Let her go, boys: every inch is
Sailing home, home to Mingulay.

2. Wives are waiting by the bank or
Looking seaward from the heather;
Pull her round, boys and we'll anchor
Ere the sun sets on Mingulay.

There are a few small variations in parts of this Western island song but this is the gist.

all the best Neil
