Текст The Longest Johns — Mingulay Boat Song

Heave her ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Swing her head round into the weather
Heave her ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Sailin’ homeward to Mingulay

What care we though
White the Minch is
What care we boys for windy weather
When we know that every inch is sailin’ homeward to Mingulay

Heave her ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Swing her head round into the weather
Heave her ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Sailin’ homeward to Mingulay

Wives are waiting by the pier-head
Gazing seaward from the heather
Bring around, boys
Then we’ll anchor, ere the sun sets on Mingulay

Heave her ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Swing her head round into the weather
Heave her ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Sailin’ homeward to Mingulay

Ships return now, heavy-laden
Mother’s holdin’, babes are cryin’
They’ll return yet, when the sun sets
Sailin’ homeward to Mingulay

Heave her ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Swing her head round into the weather
Heave her ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Sailin’ homeward to Mingulay

Heave her ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Swing her head round into the weather
Heave her ho, boys
Let her go, boys
Sailin’ homeward to Mingulay
