Mingulay Boat Song

(álbum: Pure & Simple - 2022)

Il ya ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Bring her head round into the weather
Il ya ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Sailing homeward to Mingulay

What care we though white the Minch is?
What care we for, the wind or the weather
Let her go, boys! Every inch is
Sailing homeward to Mingulay

Il ya ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Bring her head round into the weather
Il ya ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Sailing homeward to Mingulay

Wives are waiting on the pier-head
Gazing seaward from the heather
Pull her head around, and we'll anchor
Here the sun sets on Mingulay

Il ya ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Bring her head round into the weather
Il ya ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Sailing homeward to Mingulay

Il ya ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Bring her head round into the weather
Il ya ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Sailing homeward to Mingulay

Il ya ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Bring her head round into the weather
Il ya ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Sailing homeward to Mingulay
