The Mingulay Boatsong By Andy John Bradford & Oceans 5
This is a traditional sea shanty, which Richard Thompson achieved much success with. Inspirational, Hope, Drama, Anthem. Lost at sea. Over 8 minutes and takes you on an emotional rollercoaster. This is how Pink Floyd could have done it but we did it first! Heel ya ho, boys. Is anybody out there?

Lyrics
Chorus:
Heel y'ho boys, let her go, boys
Bring her head round and all together
Heel y'ho boys and let her go boys
Sailing homeward to Mingulay!
What care we for wide the Minch is
What care we for wind or weather
Bring her head round every inch is
Sailing home to mingulay
Chorus
Wives and sweethearts on the hillside
Looking seaward through the heather
Oh let her go boy and whey the anchor
Aire the sunsets on Mingulay
Chorus
As the wind blows on the hillside
And the waves mount ever higher
Anctious eyes turn ever seaward
See us home boys to mingulay
Chorus
Chorus:
Heel y'ho boys, let her go, boys
Bring her head round and all together
Heel y'ho boys and let her go boys
Sailing homeward to Mingulay!
What care we for wide the Minch is
What care we for wind or weather
Bring her head round every inch is
Sailing home to mingulay
Chorus
Wives and sweethearts on the hillside
Looking seaward through the heather
Oh let her go boy and whey the anchor
Aire the sunsets on Mingulay
Chorus
As the wind blows on the hillside
And the waves mount ever higher
Anctious eyes turn ever seaward
See us home boys to mingulay
Chorus
