Heel y’ho boys, let her go, boys
Heave her head round now all together
Heel y’ho boys, let her go boys
Sailing homeward to Mingulay
What care we tho’ white the Minch is
What care we for wind and weather?
Let her go boys, every inch is
Wearing homeward to Mingulay!
Wives are waiting on the bank, boys,
Looking seaward from the heather.
Pull her ’round boys, and we’ll anchor
‘Ere the sun sets at Mingulay!
