Heel y\'ho boys

Heel y'ho boys, let her go boys
Bring her head round, into the weather
Heel y' ho boys, let her go boys
Sailing home home to Mingulay

What care we tho’ white the Minch is
What care we for wind or weather
Let her go boys, every inch is
Wearing home home to Mingulay

Heel y'ho boys, let her go boys
Bring her head round, into the weather
Heel y' ho boys, let her go boys
Sailing home home to Mingulay

Wives are waiting by the harbour
Wives been waiting since break o’day-o
Wives been waiting by the harbour
Till the sun sets on Mingulay

Heel y'ho boys, let her go boys
Bring her head round, into the weather
Heel y'ho boys, let her go boys
Sailing home home to Mingulay

Heel y'ho boys, let her go boys
Bring her head round, into the weather
Heel y' ho boys, let her go boys
Sailing home home to Mingulay

Mingulay is not inhabited by fishermen of course. Never was - songs a load of nonsense but a good tune for all that.

Re: Heel y\'ho boys

Only if you have a good voice and can sing in tune

Albeit good for a singsong on a Friday night

OK - how will we know if we are together - I mean I could be somewhere in the middle 8 and you could still be not caring how white the minch is?

Rythm etc . Did you not see Ben Hur

Correct

It was actually Castlebay - but that doesn't seem to rhyme quite so well.....
