Poxy Boggards - Mingulay Boat Song текст песни

Chorus:
Heel ya ho, boys! Let her go, boys!
Bring her head round into the weather!
Heel ya ho, boys! Let her go, boys,
Sailing homeward to Mingulay!

What care we how white the Minch is?
What care we for the wind and weather?
Let her go, boys, every inch is
Sailing homeward to Mingulay!

Chorus

Wives are waitin' by the pier head
Or looking seaward (oh) from the heather.
Bring her head 'round, then you'll anchor
Ere the sun sets on Mingulay!

Chorus

Sun comes low now by the yard, boys,
Right the clouds are to the westward.
Songs of home fly in the wind, boys,
Flyin' homeward to Mingulay!

Chorus

Ships return now, heavy-laden,
Mothers holdin' their bairns a-cryin'
We'll return, though, ere the sun sets.
We'll return to Mingulay!

Chorus

Sailing homeward to Mingulay!
