Ill  ya ho, boys; let her go, boys;
 Bring her round,  now all together.
Ill  ya ho, boys; let her go boys,
 Sailing home,  home to Mingulay.
What  care we though white  the Minch  is?
 What care we for wind  or weather?
 Let her go  boys! ev'ry inch  is
 Wearing home,  home to Mingulay.
Ill  ya ho, boys; let her go, boys;
 Bring her round,  now all together.
Ill  ya ho, boys; let her go boys,
 Sailing home,  home to Mingulay.
Wives  are waiting on  the bank,  or
 Looking seaward from  the heather;
 Pull her round  boys! and  we'll anchor.
 Ere the sun sets at Mingulay.
Ill  ya ho, boys; let her go, boys;
 Bring her round,  now all together.
Ill  ya ho, boys; let her go boys,
 Sailing home,  home to Mingulay.
 Repeat chorus ad infinitum
