Mingulay Boat Song

[00:21.21] We are workers at the hawser
[00:27.15] We are workers since break of day
[00:33.15] We are workers at the hawser
[00:39.14] As the sun sets on Mingulay
[00:45.08] Heel y'ho boys, let her go, boys
[00:51.04] Bring her head round into the weather
[00:57.09] Heel y'ho boys, let her go boys
[01:02.82] Sailing homeward to Mingulay
[01:17.84] What care we though white the Minch is
[01:23.78] What care we for wind and weather?
[01:29.85] Let her go boys, every inch is
[01:35.73] Sailing homeward to Mingulay
[01:41.83] Heel y'ho boys, let her go, boys
[01:47.78] Bring her head round into the weather
[01:53.75] Heel y'ho boys, let her go boys
[01:59.55] Sailing homeward to Mingulay
[02:05.57] Wives are waiting by the pier head
[02:11.22] Or looking seaward from the heather
[02:17.51] Pull her 'round boys, and we'll anchor
[02:23.51] Ere the sun sets on Mingulay
[02:29.44] Heel y'ho boys, let her go, boys
[02:35.46] Bring her head round into the weather
[02:41.42] Heel y'ho boys, let her go boys
[02:47.22] Sailing homeward to Mingulay
[02:52.34]
[02:56.33] Ships return now, heavy laden
[03:02.41] Mothers holdin' their bairns a-cryin'
[03:08.37] They'll return though, when the sun sets
[03:14.42] They'll return back to Mingulay
[03:20.23] Heel y'ho boys, let her go, boys
[03:26.13] Bring her head round into the weather
[03:32.28] Heel y'ho boys, let her go boys
[03:38.15] Sailing homeward to Mingulay
[03:44.79] Heel y'ho boys, let her go, boys
[03:50.14] Bring her head round into the weather
[03:56.09] Heel y'ho boys, let her go boys
[04:01.97] Sailing homeward to Mingulay
[04:06.79]
[04:53.78] Heel y'ho boys, let her go, boys
[04:58.78] Bring her head round into the weather
[05:04.71] Heel y'ho boys, let her go boys
[05:10.54] Sailing homeward to Mingulay
[05:13.45]
