Mingulay Boat Song Lyrics by Bounding Main

Maiden Voyage

0

[Verse 1]
What care we how light the spray is?
What care we for wind or weather?
Let her go, boys, every inch is
Sailin' homeward to Mingulay
[Chorus]
Heel ya ho, boys, let her go boys
Heave her head 'round into the weather
Heel ya ho, boys, let her go boys
Sailin' homeward to Mingulay
[Verse 2]
Clap your eyes on the sun arisin'
Gulls and doves fill the sky with feather
Cut her loose, boys, for the horizon
We'll be home soon in Mingulay
[Chorus]
Heel ya ho, boys, let her go boys
Heave her head 'round into the weather
Heel ya ho, boys, let her go boys
Sailin' homeward to Mingulay
[Verse 3]
Wives are waiting on the bank or
Lookin' seaward from the heather
Pull her round boys, then you'll anchor
'Ere the sun sets on Mingulay
[Chorus]
Heel ya ho, boys, let her go boys
Heave her head 'round into the weather
Heel ya ho, boys, let her go boys
Sailin' homeward to Mingulay
[Verse 4]
Wives are waiting by the harbor
We've been waiting since the break of day
We're pumped dry and walking larboard
To our wives on Mingulay
[Chorus]
Heel ya ho, boys, let her go boys
Heave her head 'round into the weather
Heel ya ho, boys, let her go boys
Sailin' homeward to Mingulay
[Verse 5]
What care we how light the spray is?
What care we for wind or weather?
Let her go, boys, every inch is
Sailin' homeward to Mingulay
In Mingulay, for Mingulay
[Chorus]
Heel ya ho, boys, let her go boys
Heave her head 'round into the weather
Heel ya ho, boys, let her go boys
Sailin' homeward to Mingulay
Sailin' homeward to Mingulay
