Sailing on Touche, our IP380, around Barra head, via the island of Mingulay, the Outer Hebrides

Music by the McCalmans 1986 album "Scottish Songs". Buy the Album :-)

Chorus:
Heel ya ho boys, let her go boys
Swing her head 'round, and all together,
Heel ya ho boys, and we'll anchor
As the sun sets on Mingulay

Not a wave in straights and narrows
White her shoulders, cresting seafoam,
Out by Uist, and by Lewis
As the sun sets on Mingulay

Wives are waiting by the harbour,
They' ve been waiting, since break of day boys,
They' ve been waiting for their loved one,
As the sun sets on Mingulay

What care we though wild the minch is,
What care we for wind or weather,
Hail ya ho boys, and we'll anchor
As the sun sets on Mingulay.
