If it is the Mingulay Boat Song, the words I learned from Liam Clancy in 1971 are as on the DT except: What care we how white the spray is, What care we for the wind and weather,; and Wives are waiting at the peer head, all lookin' seaward from the heather,. I've never heard the third verse before - will sure add it to my rep.
