Mingulay Boat Song

from Loose Cannons by The Jolly Rogers

/

lyrics

Heel-ya ho, boys! Let her go boys!
Heave her headround into the weather.
Heel-ya ho, boys! Let her go, boys!
Sailing homeward to Mingulay.
What care we how white the spray is,
What care we for the wind or weather?
Heel-ya ho, boys! Let her go, boys!
Sailing homeward to Mingulay.
[CHORUS]
Wives are waitin’, ‘round the pier head,
Or lookin’ seaward, from the heather.
Heave ‘er ‘round boys, then we’ll anchor,
‘Ere the sun sets on Mingulay.
[CHORUS]
They’ll be waitin’, anticipatin’,
For the end of our adventures.
Don’t you cry girl, we’re returnin’,
To the shores of Mingulay.
[CHORUS] x2
