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
Weve 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
