G C
Heel yo ho, boys, let her go, boys,
G F
Bring her head round, into the weather,
G C
Heel you ho, boys, let her go, boys
G F C
Sailing homeward to Mingulay
G C G C
What care we how, white the Minch is?
G G F
What care we for wind or weather?
G C G C
When we know that every inch is
G F C
Sailing homeward to Mingulay.
G C
Heel yo ho, boys, let her go, boys,

Bring her head round, into the weather,

Sailing homeward to Mingulay
G C G C
When the wind is wild and wailing,

And the waves mount ever higher
G C G C
Anxious sighs turn, ever seaward

To see us home boys to Mingulay

Bring her head round, into the weather,

Heel you ho, boys, let her go, boys

Sailing homeward to Mingulay

And wives are waiting, by the pier head,

Or looking seaward, from o'er heather;
G C G C
Pull her round, boys, then you'll anchor
G F C
‘Ere the sun sets on Mingulay.

Ships return now, heavy laden
G F
Mothers holdin' the bairns a-cryin'
G C G C
They'll return, yet, when the sun sets
G F C
They'll return back to Mingulay.
