Mingulay Songtext
von Pressgang Mutiny

What care we though white the minches
What care we for windy weather
Bring her head round every inches
Sailing homeward to Mingulay

Heel your ho boys, let her go boys
Bring her head round into the weather
Heel your ho boys, let her go boys
Sailing homeward to Mingulay

Wives are waiting on the banks and
They′re looking seaward through the weather
Their anxious eyes look ever seaward
Wishing us home ye boys to Mingulay


Heel your ho boys, let her go boys
Bring her head round into the weather
Heel your ho boys, let her go boys
Sailing homeward to Mingulay

When the wind is wild with shouting
And the waves climb ever higher
Just bring her head round and we'll anchor
Ere the sun sets on Mingulay

Heel your ho boys, let her go boys
Bring her head round into the weather
Heel your ho boys, let her go boys
Sailing homeward to Mingulay

Heel your ho boys, let her go boys
Bring her head round into the weather
Heel your ho boys, let her go boys
Sailing homeward to Mingulay
