"Mingalay" Lyrics

Hail ya ho boys, let her go boys

Turn her head round into the weather

Hail ya ho boys, let her go boys

Sailing homeward to mingalay

What care we how wild the minch is?

What care we for windy weather?

For we know boys, every inch is

Bringing us closer to mingalay

Well our hearts they shook inside us

On the night of the hurricane

Now the stars come out to guide us

Guide us home to mingalay

We are waiting by the harbor

We've been waiting since break of day

We are waiting by the harbor

Ere the suns sets on mingalay

So hail ya ho boys, let her go boys

Turn her head round into the weather

Hail ya ho boys, let her go boys

Sailing homeward to mingalay
