Mingulay Boat Song

Lyrics: Sir Hugh Roberton / Tune: 'Creag Guanach'
(traditional pipe tune from Lochaber)

Chorus:
Keel your haul boys! Let her go boys!
Swing her head round and haul together!
Keel your haul boys! Let her go boys!
Sailing homeward to Mingulay.

What care we how white the Minch is!
What care we for wind or weather!
Keel your haul boys and we'll anchor
As the sun sets on Mingulay

Wives are waiting by the harbour;
They've been waiting since break of day-o;
Wives are waiting by the harbour
As the sun sets on Mingulay.

1938

Although the lyrics are Edwardian romanticism rather than traditional, nevertheless there are already several variants, for example at Mudcat and Wikipedia, but this is the one I've known from childhood.
