Heave her ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Bring her head round into the weather
Heelya ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Wearin’ homeward to Mingulay
[Lead Singer Verse 1]
And what care we though white the Minch is?
What care we, boys, for windy weather
When we know that every inch is
Sailin’ homeward to Mingulay
[Ensemble; Chorus]
Heave her ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Bring her head round into the weather
Heel ya ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Sailin’ homeward to Mingulay
[Lead Singer Verse 2]
Wives are waiting on the bank shore
Gazing seaward from the heather
Heave around, boys, then we’ll anchor
‘Ere the sun sets on Mingulay
[Ensemble; Chorus]
Heave her ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Bring her head round into the weather
Heel ya ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Sailin’ homeward to Mingulay
