Select language to translate this lyric
Il ya ho boys, let her go boys
Heave her head âround into the weather
Il ya ho boys, let her go boys
Heading homeward to Mingulay
What care we how wide the Minch is
What care we now for windy weather
For we know that every inch is
Wearin' homeward to Mingulay
Il ya ho boys, let her go boys
Heave her head âround into the weather
Il ya ho boys, let her go boys
Heading homeward to Mingulay
Wives are waitin' at the pierhead
Starin' seaward from the heather
Heave around boys and we'll anchor
Ere the sun sets on Mingulay
Il ya ho boys, let her go boys
Heave her head âround into the weather
Il ya ho boys, let her go boys
Heading homeward to Mingulay
Ian and Bridie at the pierside
Truly loved now are they by me
In a few years now, they'll be older
Like their fathers they'll put to sea
Il ya ho boys, let her go boys
Heave her head âround into the weather
Il ya ho boys, let her go boys
Heading homeward to Mingulay
Il ya ho boys, let her go boys
Heave her head âround into the weather
Il ya ho boys, let her go boys
Heading homeward to Mingulay
